Very very nice touch

C’est Magnifique.

We’re just over a week gone now since Paris, and France, was gripped in the most horrific terror attacks in Europe for over a decade.

130 people died in the multiple terror  incidents and the country has been on edge ever since.

Several sporting events have been cancelled while two PSG players admitted that they would be fearful of returning to the city after the incidents on Friday the 13th.

But PSG has responded to the shock and horror of the attacks with a wonderful gesture of solidarity with the people of Paris tonight.

The club have announced that they will forgo their usual sponsor of Emirates for a simple message of  ‘Je Suis Paris’ for their next two games.

The message will replace the clubs sponsor’s Emirates for the games against against Malmö in the Champions League on Wednesday night and again, on Saturday in their Ligue 1 home match against Troyes.
