Today, the Paris Saint-Germain players continued their stay in the Japanese capital by wandering through the city in search of its secrets whilst also taking part in their daily training session.
Tokyo's culture is full of surprises, and each day brings its fair share of them for Les Parisiens, who are continuing their summer tour in the Land of the Rising Sun. After a judo-themed day yesterday, it was time to discover the wonders of Tokyo.
This morning, Marco Verratti, Leo Messi, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe were given the surprise of a dinosaur show, with a life-size replica that provided some excitement for the players, as our captain told us: "It was impressive. I've never had an experience like it; it looked so real. I'll show it to my kids."
As has been the case every day so far, Les Parisiens also enjoyed a special moment with their fans from the local area. Today, it was the kids from the PSG Academy who made their way to the hotel to share a lovely time with the players, who took photos and signed autographs with them.
Finally, it was preparation time for Les Rouge et Bleu, who have a second game in their sights. Ahead of their match against Urawa Red Diamonds on Saturday, Christophe Galtier's men took part in an intense training session at the Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium.
