This is the image that will go around the world in the next few hours. The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron was filmed in the Stade Toulousan locker room drinking a beer after the Top 14 victory.
Stade Toulousain won their 22nd Brennus shield after a crazy match against La Rochelle. After a try in the last minutes from Romain Ntamack, the Stade Toulousain players did not hide their pleasure at the end of the match.
But they were not alone. The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, was also in the locker room of the Stadistes to congratulate the players but also to down a beer dry under the cries and the encouragement of the players.
Ironically, the beer in question is a Corona. Something to bring back memories to the president who had to deal with the Covid 19 pandemic. This video should go around the world in the coming days. A nice sequence but which should still ignite its detractors.
The president returned to the lawn at the start of the match to greet the players, a ceremony he had not performed during the Coupe de France final won by the TFC.
