Since 2014 and his brief passage on the Bastia bench, Claude Makelélé has disappeared from radars a little. His trainer experiences in Eupen (2017-2019), Belgium, and Tripoli (2024), in Greece, did not make the minds. It is especially the image of the tireless recovery midfielder that football fans have kept from him.

A career that led him from Brest to PSG, via Nantes, OM, Celta Vigo, Real Madrid and Chelsea. It is also among the Blues that the former French international (52 years old, 71 selections) played the most matches (280 games from 2003 to 2008). At a time when he was talking about him for his performances, but also for his private life.

From 2004 to 2008, Claude Makélélé shared the life of the famous Noémie Lenoir who, in 2005, gave birth to a boy named Kelyan. But if the model made the headlines and was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, she lived very complicated moments far from the spotlight, plagued by a terrible addiction.

In an interview with Konbinithe ex-top model returns to these dark years when she fell into alcoholism. A dependence she developed from the age of 19, long before meeting the former Blues player, but of whom she really became aware until years later, in 2010, after an attempted suicide.

You may have been elected more beautiful woman in the world, inside, I was the most horrible woman in the world for me. (…) And alcohol really supported this feeling. »»

Followed by a psychologist since 2012, Noémie Lenoir has now managed to get out of it. Now sober, she is not healed. “It is said to me: 'It's been a long time since you have drunk, you are no longer an alcoholic!' IS. I am an alcoholic and I will be all my life. And it's not a shameshe says. It is not pride either, it is a disease. »»
