"It's not easy for me today, but I wanted to say to all of you, thank you for all the emotions you have brought me at this club, and the values you instilled in me. I spent years of madness with you. It's an honour for me to be here tonight. I would even say that it's a victory because I've been fighting all these years."
"I spent years of madness with you. It's an honour for me to be here tonight. I would even say that it's a victory because I've been fighting all these years. I'm very proud to have worn this jersey, to have respected its values, its colours. I'm also very proud to have made you all happy, especially my family and especially my mother."
PSG secured a 2-0 victory over Lens as Bradley Barcola scored twice, maintaining a perfect start to the Ligue 1 season. The match served as a farewell for long-serving defender Presnel Kimpembe, who left the club for Qatar SC after a 20-year association and multiple trophies including eight Ligue 1 titles and the Champions League. Home supporters displayed a huge tifo, formed a guard of honour, and saw team-mates wear shirts reading 'Merci Presko'. Kimpembe entered the pitch with his three children, gave an emotional address thanking supporters, and expressed pride in wearing the club jersey and making his family happy.
