Paris FC

It certainly wasn’t the main point he wanted to make, but he couldn’t help but express it this way due to the somewhat biased nature of the conversation with his interlocutor.

Although he has coached the other club in the capital, just across the street (30 meters separate Parc des Princes from Stade Jean-Bouin), Antoine Kombouaré remains a key figure when it comes to talking about Paris Saint-Germain, his beloved club where he played (from 1990 to 1995) and coached. However, when faced with a colleague with whom he seemed to have a small disagreement, he started off bluntly and directly: “What do I care about PSG, I’m talking to you about a defeat against Lille?” Specifically, the one from last week, a 0-1 loss at home to LOSC, his first since taking over from Stéphane Gilli as head coach of Paris FC.

“It was fabulous, an epic match between the two best teams in the world”

“Golden Helmet” was in the stands on Tuesday night to watch PSG – Bayern (5-4) and he didn’t need much prompting: “I really wanted to be present in this match between the two best teams in the world. It was fabulous, an epic match. What a performance from PSG, it’s strong to score five goals against Bayern! I hear that the defenders could have been better… They are being scolded a bit for conceding four goals, but that’s normal, there are some great players.”

In reality, Antoine Kombouaré has never hesitated to discuss all topics related to Paris Saint-Germain, defending Lionel Messi on several occasions between 2021 and 2023, when he was in charge at FC Nantes. It is worth noting that the Kanak coach will have the pleasure of meeting Paris again on the final day of the championship, as the two teams will face off at Stade Jean-Bouin. Will PSG be crowned French champions and/or qualify for the Champions League final? We will find out in just over two weeks, on Sunday, May 17.
