Last night, the players of Paris Saint-Germain won against Olympique de Marseille (2-1) for the Champions Trophy, which was contested in Lens. While the two cities are only about 200 km apart, the Parisians have sparked a controversy on social networks for making the trip by private jet.
Many people protested against such an act, including the Greenpeace association which responded to a photo posted on the club’s official account, where we can see in particular Kylian Mbappé, Layvin Kurzawa and Presnel Kimpembe in the famous jet. . “Paris-Lens by plane: the PSG is a big hit in the climate. “ The club initially responded to RMC Sport : “A lot of clubs do that, do Lille come to Paris by bus or plane when they play in Paris?”, before explaining that the return trip was made by bus.
