Kurzawa, the humiliating return

Almost two and a half years after his last appearance in an official match with PSG, Layvin Kurzawa was greeted sadly by the Parc des Princes.

“ Layvin is not registered in the Champions League, he has a very good attitude, he deserved to play a few minutes today. » Thus Luis Enrique justified the entry into play of Layvin Kurzawa against Strasbourg this Saturday at the 82e minute, as part of the 9e day of Ligue 1.

For the 31-year-old full-back, this was his first appearance in an official PSG match since May 5, 2021, almost two and a half years. Certainly loaned last season to Fulham, the person concerned had especially been weighed down by numerous injuries during his career over the last 30 months.

His return to the Parc des Princes, however, was not accomplished in a benevolent atmosphere. Heard when he entered the field – and this despite the closed session inflicted on the Auteuil corner – the former Monaco international also suffered a barrage of whistles at each of his touches of the ball. Cruel.
