Metz-PSG: Heartwarming Moment Between Young Fan & Player

It was Christmas before time for Thyméo! The young boy presented the man of the match trophy this Saturday to Ibrahim Mbaye. For his part, the Senegalese striker from PSG gave him his jersey. They gave us the cute moment of the weekend.

On the occasion of the 16th day of Ligue 1, the LFP (Professional Football League) and the clubs joined forces with the CNAPE (National Confederation of Child Protection Associations) to support child protection. At the end of each match, a child selected by the CNAPE must present the man of the match trophy.

This Saturday, little Thyméo had the honor of presenting this individual prize to Ibrahim Mbaye after the Parisians’ victory in Metz. Shy, without being impressed by the Parisian titi, Thyméo dared to ask the fateful question of any young football lover: “I don’t know if you’ll agree, but will you give me your jersey? » By taking off his down jacket, PSG number 49 made a happy face. “Yeah” shouts Thyméo, placing his hands on his face before thanking the player from the capital club while hugging him.

“I don’t believe it! Are you really going to give it to me? » The little boy, still in shock, thanks the PSG striker again before giving him a kiss. Finally, like a doctor or an advisor, Thyméo took the time to point out to Mbaye that his lip was bleeding. A magnificent moment of sweetness at the Saint-Symphorien stadium during this holiday season.
