PSG-Dortmund: 8 lunar images of the deserted Parc des Princes

We are far from the more than 65,000 people who attended the first leg in Germany. PSG hosted this Wednesday evening Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League in a Parc des Princes deserted by its supporters because of the instructions to limit the spread of the coronavirus. If thousands of fans of the Parisian club gathered around the enclosure to give voice and expressed their presence with firecrackers and fireworks, only a few hundred accredited people could take advantage of the meeting since the spans of the enclosure.

This closed session in the Parc des Princes offered viewers fairly lunar images of the stadium and clearly audible cries of the players. Here is a selection of the most striking images of this European Cup match played almost without public.
