PSG: In Lisbon, Neymar also set fire to the supporters

“This is… Paris! Paris is magical! It is almost midnight in Lisbon when the PSG bus stops in front of the Myriad hotel. At the foot of this gigantic tower planted in front of the Tagus, nearly 300 people have been stamping their feet for over an hour.

As of the final whistle, they converged on the establishment entirely privatized by the club of the capital. “It's huge, we've been living with disillusion for years and this time it's over, we're final, yells Hendrick, vintage jersey on his back. We are going to win this Champions League now. We played a great game, it was under control. It promises great things for Sunday ”.

In French but also in Portuguese, the songs to the glory of PSG and Neymar resonate under the eyes of the local police who manage with a little apprehension the amiable outbursts of fans mad with pleasure. “We had so much trouble with this club, we are very happy to come and share this with them, slips Stéphane, who came on vacation to Lisbon especially for this final phase of the Champions League. Winning 3-0 with this mastery, we could not ask for better. What they have done is great. But they can go even further. Paris is magic and Paris will be European champion ”.

The arrival of the coach causes a muffled clamor. The phones are brandished high, the cries redoubled. The barriers tilt but do not let go under pressure. Thomas Tuchel is the first to appear at the front of the vehicle. Despite his broken left foot, the German coach takes a dance step to the sound of music echoing in the back rows. The one that his players push hard by banging on the windows.

In the process, Kylian Mbappé is the first player to go down, followed by his captain Thiago Silva. With a wave of his hand, the world champion greets his audience by walking with a determined step. In front of the hotel door, he dodges the bloated staff who relish the qualification. "We are final, we are final", sing in chorus the men of the shadow of this PSG embodied by planetary stars. The illustration of the satisfaction and relief represented by this first Champions League final in the club's history.

A few meters further, the party is organized. Official DJ of the Blues during their coronation in Russia, Presnel Kimpembe gave up this role to Neymar. Equipped with a heavy speaker spewing Brazilian sound, the Parisian n ° 10 advances by swaying alongside Choupo-Moting, Draxler, Verratti or Navas. The playmaker is also a reviewer. Faced with the cameras chasing him, he stops to take a laughing and proud look at his supporters. After the sadness of a match played in an empty stadium, the party is deafening this time. “It's great to share these moments with them, smiles Stéphanie, who came with several of these friends. We would have preferred to attend the match. But we were behind them. We will stay to celebrate the title here with them ”. Appointment is given. Sunday, same time, same place. Hoping that Neymar still takes care of everything. Play then partying.
