PSG do not forget Diego Armando Maradona, who died Wednesday at the age of 60.
The legendary Argentine number 10 has met the capital club twice in his career, the time of friendly matches played on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, in 1981 and 1982. To pay him a last tribute, the PSG will observe a minute of silence this Saturday before the meeting against Bordeaux in Ligue 1 and will broadcast a film of a few minutes in honor of "Pibe De Oro".
Three Argentinian players play in Paris this season.
Leandro Paredes, Mauro Icardi and Angel Di Maria.
The latter was also launched with the Albiceleste on October 15, 2009 by Diego Maradona in person, when he was Argentina coach.
“Eternal recognition for everything, writes Di Maria on her social networks.
You will always be in our hearts.
We will never forget you ”.
It is therefore twice that Maradona has played at the Parc des Princes.
The first, in 1981, during the jubilee organized for Jean-Pierre Dogliani and Jean-Louis Leonetti.
PSG, equipped with a special green jersey, receives Boca Juniors and the famous left-hander, wearing the blue and yellow tunic of the Argentine club.
Maradona does not fly over this match but Boca wins 3-1.
In November 1982, he returned to Paris for a new friendly match.
But this time with the outfit of FC Barcelona, which won 4-1 in Paris with a goal from Diego Maradona.
His last visit to the Parc des Princes will take place on January 4, 1995, as a spectator.
The evening of a 1-0 victory against Auxerre in the Coupe de la Ligue.
