Paris Saint-Germain star, Ousmane Dembélé made a special appearance at Roland Garros on Monday afternoon, proudly showcasing the club’s maiden UEFA Champions League trophy following their emphatic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich on Saturday evening.
The former Barcelona winger, now among the frontrunners for the Ballon d’Or, was welcomed at the Court Philippe-Chatrier inside the Stade Roland Garros in Paris. PSG’s triumph marks only the second time a French club has lifted Europe’s most prestigious football trophy.
Addressing the crowd, Dembélé said: “Ici c’est Paris, (This is Paris). Exceptional, it was a magic moment in Munich. We played an exceptional season and were rewarded with our first European Cup. The individual titles are fine, but it is the collective titles that matter. We will try to win as many titles as possible.”
Shortly after Dembélé’s presentation, tennis legend Novak Djokovic took to centre court and also acknowledged the historic achievement.
“An incredible season for PSG, so congratulations to all Parisians. It was amazing to be there yesterday,” Djokovic remarked.
“Two days ago, during the game I was playing, and it was a bit complicated to get to my hotel afterwards, complicated being an understatement. The roads were quite the show.”
The celebratory moment at Roland Garros brought together two of France’s biggest sporting spectacles, marking a memorable intersection of football and tennis.
