Oumar Camara: From PSG Youth to Portuguese Star

“Oumar Ballon d’or, and Oumar Ballon d’or! » This tune, now well known to Parisian supporters, resonated with a small variation in the streets of Guimarães on Saturday evening. While Vitoria won its first title in thirteen years, the third in its history, following a victory against Braga in the League Cup final (2-1), Oumar Camara, 18, was entitled to a superstar welcome.

“We are making history,” enthuses the man who joined the Portuguese club from PSG last summer. The atmosphere during the parade was exceptional, I had to go to bed at 6 or 7 a.m., it was enormous. Guimarães didn’t sleep all night! When I see this atmosphere around me, it makes me want to give even more. »
