Samuel Eto'o was treated to a special celebration at the Parc des Princes this Wednesday during the Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. The former star striker, a three-time Champions League winner, was honored by the Parisian club on the occasion of his 45th birthday.
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, presented Eto'o with a club jersey bearing his name and the number 9. This honorary distinction took place in a festive atmosphere, as PSG faced Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Eto'o's presence in the stands did not go unnoticed, as he remains an emblematic figure in the competition. Other personalities from the world of sports and entertainment were also present, including Adriana Lima, Matthieu Jalibert, and artists such as Oli and Carlito. PSG also invited former glories of the club, such as Safet Susic, Javier Pastore and Pauleta.
The match was spectacular, with a resounding victory for Paris Saint-Germain against Chelsea with a score of 5-2. A memorable evening for Samuel Eto'o, who was able to celebrate his birthday in a Champions League atmosphere in the heart of the Parc des Princes.
The Parc des Princes, PSG's historic home, may soon be living its last years. The club is considering building a new stadium by 2026, possibly outside of Paris, to provide itself with a more modern and lucrative venue.
