Happy birthday, Willian Pacho! 🎉 | OneFootball

This Thursday, October 16, on the eve of hosting Strasbourg after the international break, Paris Saint-Germain has a small event to celebrate. It’s Willian Pacho’s birthday, the defender turning 24 today.

Pacho’s arrival at PSG in the summer of 2024 from Eintracht Frankfurt was one of the big surprises of the transfer window. Some didn’t wait to criticize the €40 million spent on a player they didn’t really know.

The Ecuadorian quickly showed that Paris, unsurprisingly, doesn’t recruit at random. With a quick adaptation, clear progress, and an aggression that greatly benefits the group while always staying calm in his play, Pacho quickly established himself. He even played a key role in the Champions League triumph and is taking his place among the best in the world in his position.

All we can do is wish him continued success now that expectations are higher. But there’s no sense that any potential pressure will bother him. We wish him to confirm his form, and a happy birthday.
