Fabio Quartararo: "Can't wait to be there"

Le premier Français champion du monde de moto GP donnera le coup d’envoi fictif de la rencontre de la 16e journée de Ligue 1 entre le Paris Saint-Germain et Nice ce mercredi soir au Parc des Princes. Il a répondu à nos questions….

Fabio, you're going to kick off the match against Nice on Wednesday. What will that be like?

"Exceptional! It's really cool, and it will give me a chance to meet people I think are amazing. It has been a long time since I've had the opportunity to see a game in this kind of style so I can't wait to be there. I sent Nasser Al-Khelaïfi a message to thank him. Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing some of the Parisian staff again. It's going to be a great day. But I won't be taking the pitch on a motorbike! The gardeners can rest assured."

Do you have any special memories of the Parc des Princes?

"I was lucky enough to be invited to the Parc to watch the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray in the Champions League two years ago. A great evening with a nice 5-0 victory!"

Are you in contact with any players from the club?

"After I won the title, I got messages from Verratti, Hakimi, Neymar, Ramos and Mbappé. It's a real pleasure. I don't know them all personally even though we message each other regularly on the networks."
