It’s a day he won’t soon forget. This Monday, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi fulfilled a long-held dream by carrying the Olympic flame through the streets of Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne). The PSG president began his relay at around 3:40 p.m. and covered nearly 500 meters with the torch in his hand. All accompanied by songs in honor of PSG.
“I am very proud. When I was a little boy, I dreamed of carrying the Olympic flame. When I was an athlete and I played tennis, I always had this dream. It is extraordinary to be here, in this region. In my city, Paris! It is an extraordinary feeling.”the Qatari leader said in remarks relayed by The Parisian.
Al-Khelaïfi: “I didn’t know people loved me so much”
Followed by many fans during his career, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi was able to measure his popularity rating. “Did I imagine I would be this popular? To be honest, not at all (laughs)! I didn’t know people liked me this much, he confided. It doesn’t make sense (he smiles). I’m very grateful to the fans, it proves that PSG has a lot of supporters.”
After finishing his stint, “NAK” spent nearly half an hour taking selfies and signing autographs with passers-by who came to see him. He was also stopped by Parisian supporters. “Nasser, Nasser, we must sign Yamal ! “, said a man to the PSG boss, who left under good escort.
