Having completed a training session in Irvine on the day after their 4-0 win over Atlético de Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain’s first-team players were split into several groups today as they visited the City of Angels and its surrounding areas.
CHECKING OUT PSG HOUSE
Paris's Matvey Safonov, Lee Kang-in, Fabián Ruiz, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia headed to Beverly Hills and the place to be: PSG House. Open every day from 10:00 to 19:00 until 23rd June, this unmissable pop-up store gives fans and more casual visitors alike a unique experience that combines sport, fashion, art, music and well-being in an atmosphere that brings together Parisian elegance and Californian creativity.
A SLIGHT DETOUR TO MEXICO
Meanwhile, defender Lucas Hernandez and midfielders João Neves and Warren Zaïre-Emery made their way to El Tarasco on Manhattan Beach, where, after trying out the restaurant's world-famous tacos, the Rouge et Bleu trio even stepped into the kitchen to try to prepare Mexico's go-to dish themselves. They then visited Bo Bridges Gallery before heading to the beach itself and enjoying the scenery by bicycle.
PARIS QUINTET HEAD TO LACMA
The destination for Lucas Beraldo, Marquinhos, Senny Mayulu, Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos was the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile area.
A WORKSHOP WITH PSG ACADEMY KIDS
After taking part in a series of activations at their hotel, Arnau Tenas, Noham Kamara, Gabriel Moscardo, Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué met players from the local Paris Saint-Germain Academy for a training session during which they were able to pass some precious bits of advice onto the budding young footballers.
A MEETING WITH THE LAKERS
Finally, Paris defenders Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe made their way to the Los Angeles Lakers' training ground, the UCLA Health Training Center, in El Segundo. There, they were welcomed by Cameroonian pivot Christian Koloko and former shooting guard Michael Cooper, who not only plied his trade for the Lakers from 1978 to 1990 but also won five NBA championships (in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988) and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
