This is nothing new: for its trips to L1, PSG (and it’s not the only team) takes the plane all the time, even for fairly short trips. Like when he flew to Lens for the Champions Trophy in January 2021. Or, like Saturday, when the capital club went by private jet to Nantes, to travel 340 km.
This had provoked a reaction from the director of TGV-Intercités, Alain Krakovitch, on Twitter: “Paris-Nantes is in less than 2 hours by TGV Inoui. PSG, I re-re-renew our proposed TGV offer adapted to your specific needs, for our common interests: safety, speed, services and eco-mobility. »
Bursts of laughter from Mbappé
Asked this Monday at a press conference, before the Champions League match against Juventus, about this trip by air to find out if it was a question he was asking himself and if he spoke to his players about it, Christophe Galtier looked at Kylian Mbappé, who burst out laughing, before releasing an astonishing response.
“I suspected that we were going to have this question, said the PSG coach, before turning to irony. To be very honest with you [les journalistes], we talked about it this morning with the company that manages the trips and we are trying to see if we can not make the trips in sand yachts. Laughter, there too, in the audience. She is still a little far from awareness.
