This year’s Champions Trophy had a surprise. It was first scheduled for August in Bangkok but then moved to Paris at PSG’s home stadium because a late change happened in June. The choice to hold the show in our own country made it special and different from what we were expecting, instead of having it in another place like Saudi Arabia or Qatar. That night wasn’t just about showing how good PSG was, but also a time to celebrate togetherness, skillfulness, and a loving farewell to one of their important players named Achraf Hakimi.
