Video: PSG's Hakimi gives Brigitte Macron an awkward look
Published June 3rd, 2025 - 12:23 GMT ALBAWABA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Achraf Hakimi recently went viral on social media after a video revealed him giving Brigitte Macron an odd and awkward look during a meet-up that celebrated the football team's victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League finale. PSG won against Inter Milan 5-0 at the UEFA Champions League Final on May 31, 2025, sparking widespread celebrations on social media and in Paris' streets. Hakimi contributed to one goal out of the five scored in Milan's net. Several social media users noticed Hakimi's observatory look, alongside his teammate Lucas Hernández, who appeared visibly uncomfortable and confused. This may have stemmed from recent media coverage and controversy surrounding Brigitte Macron's appearance and identity. Recent rumors and investigations from the media claimed that Brigitte Macron is a transgener who was born a man with childhood photos as "evidence." The alleged photos were first shared by a French magazine, but quickly flooded social media with claims and reports. — Camille Moscow 🇷🇺 🌿 ☦️ (@camille_moscow) June 2, 2025 However, many reported on social media that the boy in the photos was not Brigitte Macron but "her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, from 1953, 1954, and 1955." The ongoing rumors were recently reignited by American far-right political commentator Candace Owens, who claimed that French President Emannuel Macron and his wife Brigitte sent her a "legal threat" to prevent her from speaking further about the matter in question. The rumors first occurred when two women (Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey) went on YouTube claiming that Brigitte was born in 1953 as a boy under the name "Jean-Michel Trogneux." They were later targeted in a defamation lawsuit and persecuted by a court in Normandy city. Emmanuel Macron has constantly denied the allegations mentioned above across the years, describing them as "false" and "fabricated lies." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Deschamps will find PSG's France players in strange state after party, Dembele says
MUNICH, June 1 (Reuters) - France coach Didier Deschamps will find some of his players in a strange state when they return from Paris St Germain's weekend celebrations, forward Ousmane Dembele said following the club's first Champions League triumph. PSG crushed Inter Milan 5-0 in the final in Munich on Saturday, recording the biggest winning margin in the showpiece match of the continent's premier club competition. France players, including PSG's Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaire-Emery, Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue and Dembele, are due to rejoin the national squad at Clairefontaine from Monday to prepare for Thursday's Nations League semi-final against Spain. "There you go, we've made a whole nation, a whole city proud. And, like they say, the party is just getting started. Didier is going to find us in a strange state," the 28-year-old joked during an interview on French television channel M6. The France international described the festivities as a long-awaited release after years of heartbreak. PSG's previous Champions League final appearance was in 2020, when they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich. "It's exceptional, what just happened. Winning finals is great, but doing it in this way is even better, it's even more thrilling," said Dembele. "Honestly, we deserve it. After so many years of hardship and battles, I think Paris St Germain truly deserves this victory." There has been rejoicing in Paris as fans await the team's arrival on Sunday but Dembele urged supporters to keep the festivities peaceful. More than 500 people were arrested by police and two people were reported dead during wild celebrations in France.

PSG lose 2-1 at Strasbourg as title hangover continues
Soccer Football - Ligue 1 - RC Strasbourg v Paris St Germain - Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg, France - May 3, 2025 RC Strasbourg's Mamadou Sarr celebrates their first goal, an own goal scored by Paris St Germain's Lucas Hernandez REUTERS STRASBOURG, France - A second-string Paris St Germain side fell to a 2–1 defeat at fourth-placed Strasbourg on Saturday, giving the Ligue 1 champions another loss in the closing stages of the campaign. The result moved Strasbourg level on 57 points with Nice, who are third after beating visiting Reims 1-0 on Friday, in the race for a Champions League qualifying spot. With the title wrapped up and PSG's undefeated league run ended by a 3-1 loss to Nice in the last round, the only thing at stake for the visitors was preserving a 39-game unbeaten Ligue 1 away record - the most ever in Europe's top five leagues. However, manager Luis Enrique retained only Joao Neves from the starting lineup that featured in the 1-0 Champions League win at Arsenal in the semi-final first leg in midweek, seemingly resting key players ahead of Wednesday's return game. PSG went behind after 20 minutes when their defender Lucas Hernandez clumsily connected with a flicked header by Strasbourg's Mamadou Sarr from a corner, steering it into his own net to give the hosts the lead. Strasbourg doubled their lead in first-half stoppage time when Felix Lemarechal collected the ball outside the box and curled a beautiful effort into the far corner. Bradley Barcola pulled one back for PSG less than a minute into the second half after a swift run from midfield before he calmly slotted home. Despite their strong start to the second half and late pressure, PSG were unable to find another goal and suffered their second consecutive league defeat.
