Present together at a promotional shoot for FC 25, and already partners within the Canal Plus media, the reference football video game, Robert Pirès and Laure Boulleau, found themselves this Saturday on the field. Not that of football, since the two former internationals are retired and only play very occasionally, but on a padel court.
The 98 world champion and the former member of Les Bleues and Paris Saint-Germain participated together in the Padel Invitational at Roland-Garros, a charitable event.
Adil Rami and Sylvain Wiltord, also crowned in notable international competitions with the French team, took part in the event, in the company of comedian Redouane Bougheraba, streamers Xari and Jiraiya, and even the host Margot Laffitte.
Sylvain Wiltord superstar
Laure Boulleau and Robert Pirès were defeated in the semi-final after a great battle against the Wiltord-Saïd pair. Adil Rami and streamer Tiky challenged the former Girondins de Bordeaux striker and his evening friend in the final, but in vain.
The author of the equalizing goal in the final of Euro 2000 against Italy, who has already played in other padel competitions, was also decisive on Saturday, to win the event, transcribed on the Twitch channel of Domingo, in three rounds.
