What would have become PSG without the fabulous double of Amara Diané, on a Saturday evening of 2008?

On May 17, 2008, Amara Diané scored a double on the lawn of Sochaux during the 38th and final day of the championship, allowing Paris Saint-Germain to stay in League 1. Without this performance of the Ivorian striker, the club of the capital could have descended at the lower level and not to be taken up by QSI three years later.

By ricochets, PSG would probably not have won the final of the Champions League. “I am happy. I have dreamed of this moment for a very long time: to be with you to live this, the day the PSG finally wins the Champions League. This victory belongs more to supporters than to players. It is a continuity of everything that everyone has experienced ”reacted Amara diané to the microphone of PSG Fan TV.

Like many observers, the native of Abidjan believes that the change in sports policy has made it possible to achieve this objective. “In 2020, we had stars but no teamhe underlines. Today, we no longer have big names, but we have a real team, young people, a soul. And this match against Inter, if we play it ten times, we win it ten times. »»

Amara diané, even the Marseillais congratulate him

The former Racing Club player in Strasbourg takes the opportunity to slip a crisp anecdote: “I have Marseille friends who sent me messages to congratulate me. I replied: 'That's for supporters''.

In July 2008, Amara Diané had left PSG to engage in favor of the Qatari club Al Rayyan. After rods in the United Arab Emirates, he had completed his career in 2015, within the modest Belgian club of the Tubize Union.
