He shared anecdotes about their encouraging messages, demonstrating the importance of this support for him and the emotion that surrounded this special event for the club. Neymar, having played a Champions League final in 2020 with the PSG, expressed his conviction in the team’s victory and offered his encouragement. Thiago Silva, too, shared his encouragements, reinforcing the feeling of unity and solidarity within the group.
At the same time, the Paris Saint-Germain youth team made a promising start to the Youth League campaign, largely against Atalanta (5-1). Despite a difficult start to the game with a cashed goal, the young Parisians were able to bounce with goals from Chtai Telamio, Ndjantou (who scored a triple) and Moungengue. This victory allows them to temporarily position themselves in 4th place in their group before their next trip to Barcelona. Coach Jean-François Vulliez praised the spirit and talent of his players, stressing the importance of this first game for the rest of the competition.
Finally, Gianluigi Donnarumma, newly arrived in Manchester City, expressed his pride and willingness to give the best of himself to his new club. He highlighted the decisive role of the club and its coach in his decision to join Manchester City, as well as the affection and support he received from his former PSG teammates. For his part, Luis Enrique unveiled the list of players summoned for the Champions League match against Atalanta, with some notable absences due to injuries or participation in the Youth League. The good news is the return of Kvartsakhelia and Kang-in Lee, who reinforce the team before this European shock.
