Paris Saint-Germain faced FC Metz on Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes. The club made sure to invite Tahirys Dos Santos, one of the victims of the devastating Crans-Montana fire.
At the Parc des Princes, the emotion extended far beyond the match itself. The presence of Tahirys Dos Santos, a young defender for FC Metz, deeply moved the Parisian crowd. Severely burned during the tragic New Year’s fire in Crans-Montana — a disaster that claimed the lives of dozens — the player is now undergoing a long recovery after receiving treatment in Germany and the Lorraine region.
A Moving Tribute at Parc des Princes
Personally invited to a private box by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Dos Santos was welcomed with great respect and warmth. The powerful gesture was widely praised and highlighted the solidarity within the football world beyond sporting rivalries.
His presence, despite the ordeal he endured, profoundly touched both supporters and players. In a stadium usually driven by passion and intensity, the silence and applause in his honor served as a powerful reminder: sometimes, football becomes far more than just a game.
