PSG/Tottenham – Xavi Simons on possible Parc des Princes return

This Saturday at 9 PM (broadcast on Canal+) Paris Saint-Germain (5th) will face Tottenham (10th) at the Parc des Princes as part of the 5th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. On the eve of the match, Xavi Simons, Tottenham's 22-year-old attacking midfielder, trained at PSG, spoke about these special reunions as reported by Le Parisien.

Simons: "They showed me what I needed to do to reach the highest level."

"I am really looking forward to it. You know, I had great times in Paris, that's where I took the first steps of my professional career. Being alongside Neymar, Mbappé, Verratti, such talented players, and seeing how the whole team approached football, not only on the field but also off it, was very enriching for me. They showed me what I needed to do to reach the highest level. Playing here was a fantastic experience."

A special moment for Xavi Simons who returns to the Parc des Princes two years after leaving it for good. Just a few months ago, the Dutch international was still rumored as a target for the capital club. Desired by the fans, he ultimately joined the English club and his transfer was aborted.

Without a doubt, Xavi Simons will be eager to shine this Wednesday. An XXL Champions League evening, during which the capital club can take a step towards qualification. The duel should be a top clash for the Spurs who are seeking revenge after the cruel defeat in the UEFA Super Cup last August.
