PSG v Lens: Sage pays heartfelt tribute to Kimpembe! | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain claimed victory over RC Lens this Sunday early evening at the Parc des Princes (2-0, see the video highlights), for the 4th matchday of Ligue 1. But at the end of the match, it was the tribute to Parisian soldier Presnel Kimpembe that drew all the attention. Pierre Sage, coach of the Sang et Or, stopped by the beIN SPORTS microphones to reflect on his team's defeat and the tribute paid to Presko.

Sage: "It’s very good that the club respects everything the player has done here"

We are in the middle of Kimpembe’s tribute, he’s someone who has left his mark on PSG’s history. What is your view of his career?

I think it’s very good that the club respects everything the player has done here. He’s had a difficult end to his career here with his injuries, but he has always kept his faith and commitment. He has always supported the team in the great results they had last year.

Do you think you could have done better today?

In this kind of match, we have opportunities to make our presence felt, but unfortunately, we didn’t manage that well today. God knows there were chances, but that’s also the story of our journey—we learn from every match and build ourselves as a team with each game. Maybe there was a possibility to do better; we wanted to be more competitive, to get a better result, and not concede that goal at the start of the second half.
