Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in front of the crowd at Roland Garros, the second Grand Slam tournament of the season, on Monday.
Dembele walked with his sunglasses on the sunny, sandy court of Philippe Chatrier, and as he held the trophy aloft, he chanted “Here is Paris” … a favorite chant of PSG fans, and some of the crowd briefly joined in the chant.
Dembele played a pivotal role in Saint-Germain’s first Champions League title in its history by beating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final in Munich on Saturday, setting up young teammate Desiree Doi’s goal in the final.
After Dembele left the court, Serbian star Novak Djokovic, who has 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, showed up to face Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the fourth round of Roland Garros.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, 51, was present in the stands as a former professional tennis player and is the president of Saint-Germain.
Al-Khelaifi has played two ATP World Tour tournaments, including a loss to French Open champion Thomas Muster in 1995, and has played for Qatar in the Davis Cup.
