PSG/Arsenal – Kimpembe to bring out the trophy for the final

Presnel Kimpembe, the 30-year-old Qatar SC defender, has a deep history with Paris Saint-Germain. Trained at PSG, he was on the pitch last season to help deliver the club’s famous first Champions League title. Le Parisien also reports that the club has chosen him as an ambassador for the final. One of his roles will notably be to bring out the trophy for the match.

Kimpembe: “It is a great source of pride to represent Paris Saint-Germain for this Champions League final”

According to our information, Presnel Kimpembe was chosen to be PSG’s ambassador on Saturday in Budapest, just as Javier Pastore was last year, on the sidelines of the final comfortably won by PSG against Inter Milan (5-0). It was a decision made by Nasser al-Khelaïfi and the Paris sporting management. “It is a great source of pride to represent Paris Saint-Germain for this Champions League final,” reacted the 30-year-old center-back, now a Qatar SC player. “It is the club closest to my heart, the club where I grew up. I thank the President, the sporting management, and the coach for their trust. I hope to bring good luck to the team and to all Parisian supporters.”

It is a very nice gesture from PSG toward Kimpembe, a true club academy product whose bond with the club remains very strong. He had to leave in order to find regular playing time, as the competition had become too intense after two years of injuries, but the love and respect are still very much there.

It will be a lovely moment for the defender, especially if he can then celebrate another PSG victory with his former teammates, coaches, and club officials.
