David Beckham happy to find PSG
For his part, David Beckham, now president of Inter Miami, expressed great emotion at the idea of finding the club where he bowed out in 2013. ” Frankly, it's a very moving match for me ”, he said. Arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in January 2013, the former legend of Manchester United had decided to end his professional career 6 months later, after the 2012-2013 season.
Despite a flashing at PSG, the Englishman revealed at the microphone of Dazn to have a special relationship with the Parisian club. “” For me, ending my career in Paris as I did with this club was very special. I only spent six months there, but I felt like I had spent 16 years ago. It is a real family, a truly special club, owned by special people, led by a special man ”, he said.
