PSG: This season when something woke up in Dembélé

As the work is currently underway, Strasbourg's Meinau stadium presents a spatiotemporal rift that will soon close: while the path separating the changing rooms from the parking lot is secure throughout, the latter is occasionally open to the four winds. This allowed us, on Saturday, on the sidelines of Paris-Saint-Germain's 1-2 defeat in Alsace, to give back to the French champions, or rather to two of them, a humanity that the club is trying to hide by limiting the players' public expression to the regulatory minimum.

Midfielder Kang-In Lee, injured in the ankle, limped off, supported by two members of staff. A colleague who had undertaken to film his scene was given a moral lesson by one of the two men: "A little modesty, thank you!" For giving the player a thumbs-up to comfort him, the kind of thing that is done in these circumstances, we were given an honor by the same man: "There, that's good!" We didn't care about his remark, and we will remember the South Korean international's pale smile in return, rendered to a vulnerability that has no reason to spare superstars.

French defender Lucas Hernandez, who was taken off at half-time by his coach, Luis Enrique, had been escorted off ten minutes before him, his head buried under his hood. He was asked at the time if his rather premature exit was due to an injury: "No."
