It was an unexpected and entertaining moment captured by Agence France-Presse cameras during the G7 summit in Évian. Emmanuel Macron, Donald Trump and Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani were seen chatting in a relaxed atmosphere about a rather unusual topic for a gathering of world leaders: Paris Saint-Germain.
At the center of the discussion was PSG’s second consecutive UEFA Champions League title, an achievement that continues to generate attention far beyond the football world and into the highest levels of international politics.
PSG Triumph Sparks Global Leaders’ Banter
The highlight of the exchange came when the Emir of Qatar playfully teased Emmanuel Macron. A well-known supporter of PSG through Qatar’s investment in the club, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani joked that the French president was “pretending to be happy” about the Parisian club’s latest European triumph.
The remark was a humorous reference to Macron’s reputation as a supporter of Olympique de Marseille, PSG’s historic rival. The joke prompted smiles among those present, and Macron reportedly had to explain the context to Donald Trump, who was seated beside him, including the fact that Qatar owns PSG.
