At the Parc des Princes, the presence of Tahirys Dos Santos, young FC Metz defender, was one of the highlights of the match against Paris Saint-Germain. Seriously burned in the deadly fire in Crans-Montana (Switzerland) during the New Year, the player, now convalescing after treatment in Germany and Lorraine, was specially invited to the box by Parisian President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to attend the meeting, a gesture welcomed by many observers.
This more than moving moment underlines the admiration of the football world for the courage of Messin, survivor of the Swiss tragedy which cost the lives of around forty people and left many injured. The presence of Dos Santos at the Park, despite his injuries and his convalescence, was welcomed by supporters and players, reminding us that football can also be a source of solidarity and support in difficult times.
