PSG team is the superstar: Nasser Al Khelaifi on C à Vous show
Tribune News Network Paris Nasser Al Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, was the exceptional guest on the C à Vous show, broadcast on France 5 on Tuesday, 2025. In an interview marked by emotion and pride, he reflected on the club's historic Champions League victory. Asked about PSG's transformation, the Qatari leader highlighted the paradigm shift implemented by the club: 'Today, the superstar is the team. We are a family, 23 soldiers on and off the pitch. We have stars today, we have Dembélé, Marquinhos, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Hakimi, we have many players, the whole team is a star. But today the stars play and work for the team.' This new approach, centered on the collective and the promotion of young talent, marks a break with the era of individual superstars. The PSG president paid tribute to other major French clubs: 'We are proud to represent France alongside Monaco, Brest and Lille. French football is shining in Europe thanks to all these clubs.' The show was punctuated by video messages of congratulations from prominent personalities and iconic players. Ousmane Dembele, PSG's star striker, paid special tribute to his president: 'When I signed for Paris Saint-Germain, he told me that we were going to achieve our objectives, that we were going to win the most beautiful competition. Two years later, we did it. It's exceptional.' Nasser Al Khelaifi in return praised the player: 'Ousmane Dembele is the Ballon d'Or. He's a magnificent player, generous on the pitch and off it, he's an example.' Malik Bentalha and Teddy Riner also praised the Parisian leader's commitment and vision. Al Khelaifi was full of praise for the supporters: 'Our supporters are the best in the world. I want to thank all of France and all the French people, for once I felt all of France behind us. That touched us deeply.' The PSG president also had warm words for the club's former iconic players: 'I want to thank Kylian for what he gave to the club. Him, Messi, Neymar, Ibrahimovic... all the players, because it was an important period for the club. We're lucky this year, but I wish him the best at Real, from the bottom of my heart.' Speaking about the star that will soon adorn the Parisian jersey, Nasser Al Khelaïfi was measured: 'We haven't decided yet, we want to play with the star for the Club World Cup, but we must remain humble. This star is magnificent, but the most important thing is the name: 'Paris Saint-Germain'.' Behind the scenes of the show, Nasser Al Khelaïfi had the opportunity to chat with singer Sting, also a guest that evening, who praised the consistency of the Parisian project. The leader said he was particularly touched by these spontaneous exchanges. Moved, he concluded by dedicating this victory to his recently deceased mother: 'It's difficult to talk about... but she was with me. It was her dream for us to win this Champions League. This trophy is for my mother too.'
