Ousmane Dembélé received a hero’s welcome at Roland-Garros as he carried Paris Saint-Germain’s freshly won Champions League trophy onto Court Philippe Chatrier. The French football star, who played a key role in PSG’s historic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final, was met with roaring applause from more than 10,000 spectators.
Wearing a white t-shirt with the word “triumph” emblazoned on it, Dembélé proudly showcased the prestigious trophy, with PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi watching from the stands. The timing of the ceremony was perfect, as it took place just minutes before French wildcard Lois Boisson stunned world No. 3 Jessica Pegula to reach the quarterfinals, adding to the electric atmosphere at Roland-Garros.
Dembélé’s presence brought a unique crossover moment between football and tennis, uniting fans in celebration of PSG’s long-awaited European triumph. As he lifted the trophy high, the crowd erupted in cheers, embracing the excitement of both sports on one of the biggest stages in Paris.
