PSG lifted the trophy before the match. |
Coach Luis Enrique and his team successfully defended their Ligue 1 title after defeating Lens 2-0 in the previous round. However, instead of lifting the trophy after the final match of the season as is customary, PSG held the trophy presentation ceremony before the derby against Paris FC at the Jean-Bouin Stadium on the morning of May 18th.
In the rather unusual setting with most of the stands empty, the entire PSG squad proceeded to the area where about 1,000 away fans were gathered to receive the trophy. Captain Marquinhos lifted the Ligue 1 trophy amidst a small group of supporters.
Even more unbelievable is that immediately after the celebration, the PSG players returned to the pitch to continue warming up as if nothing had happened, creating one of the strangest images in modern football.
According to L'Equipe , the Ligue 1 organizers wanted PSG to lift the trophy after the match. However, Paris FC refused, as they were preparing for farewell activities for the players and a fireworks display for their final home game of the season.
Furthermore, Paris police did not grant PSG permission to hold the trophy presentation ceremony at Parc des Princes. With no other option, PSG was forced to perform the bizarre trophy presentation before kick-off.
However, the joy of the Parisian team was not complete. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, and Ousmane Dembele had to leave the field early due to injury. Now PSG faces a major concern ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30th.
