It is the day after tomorrow that the long-awaited final of the Champions League, opposing Paris Saint-Germain, to Inter Milan, to the Allianz Arena in Munich. While many former French internationals position themselves in a camp or another, Youri Djorkaeff is embarrassed.
Indeed, during his career, the “Snake” carried the jersey of the two teams. First by the capital's club, during the 1995-1996 season. After a quality exercise, the one who then played in a post of 9 and a half then spent three seasons within the Italian training.
“It's as if I was asked to choose between Sacha and Oan, my two sons!” It's impossible, he assures this Thursday in the columns of the team. I am French. My father (Jean) was also captain of PSG … but two of my three children were born in Italy. I marked Inter. »»
Djorkaeff in the casting of M6 for the final
Among the Nerazzurri, the 1998 world champion was part of one of the best clubs in Europe at the time. “I won a UEFA cup, played in the largest team, no doubt in history – at least for all the fervents integrators – with the Ronaldo, Zamorano, Zanetti, Simeone, Kanu, Pagliuca, Bergomi, he recalls. We never won the Scudetto, but we marked all the hearts. I still have my photo in the locker room. I'm not trying to compare. I am especially very happy and proud that these two clubs are in the final. I love them differently. »»
