KYLIAN MBAPPE becomes all-time top scorer in the history of Paris Saint-Germain at only 24
FRANCE NT takes over Group B during the 2024 UEFA EURO Qualification Round
this might be a bit random but i figured since everybody's feeling some type of way, might as well bring back the OG clownery when it comes to PSG 🤡💁🏻♀️
in 1973, a midfielder lost his dentures at some point during a match and didn't notice until they were back in the locker room. It was snowing and cold, but they had to light up the whole stadium so that the entire team, staff included, could search the pitch. Never found the dentures and nearly caught hypothermia in the process
in 1979, PSG was invited to Cameroon to play two friendlies for a big check (see? nothing's changed). The team was traveling aboard two buses, but no one had noticed the microphones inside were directly broadcasting the whole ride through the town. They were nicknamed the 'PSG circus' for a while because of it. The local press had a field day.
in 1983, the club organized the first football cruise to 'ease the team back into training' after winter break (and make big bucks). Fans, families, staff, everyone aboard. There was literally no space to move and they sent about a hundred balls out into the sea. No one ever truly knew why they even came up with something like that. They ended up playing friendlies in Senegal, including one where after the equivalent of not one but two matches in a row, the score was still 0-0.
in the early 1990s, the team famously spent hours combing the locker room for the second shin guard of their resident Awkward Boi. He had put both on the same leg. They showed up late and were finned.
in 1998, the back-then President of PSG and the back-then President of RC Lens got stuck in an elevator together. They'd almost gotten into a fist fight earlier that night, everyone thought they were going to murder each other in there.
at some point in 2010-ish, the team's hotel couldn't get enough ice for ice baths for the players. The staff had to go fetch some at a local supermarket. Great right? Except it was from the seafood department. Some of the players couldn't get rid of the smell afterwards.
in case anybody ever wondered, this team always had chaotic written in their DNA
I'll come back stronger.
France NT ★★
