Antoine Kombouaré Says He Cried While Commentating PSG’s Champions League Win

The former PSG player-coach says a 12-year bond with the club made the moment overwhelming.

Overview

  • In a Le Parisien interview reported on December 27, Kombouaré recounts tearing up while calling PSG’s May 31 Champions League final on M6.
  • He says the broadcast stirred memories of his years at PSG as a player, reserve coach, and the first coach of the Qatari era.
  • During the match he thought about generations who built the club and highlighted often overlooked staff such as the kit managers.
  • After the final he went down to the pitch, exchanged words with Luis Enrique and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and was told he is part of the PSG family.
  • He adds he felt particular joy for Marquinhos given the defender’s experience of the club’s past remontada setback.
