Although busy for several months as a Spurs player, Victor Wembanyama nonetheless remains a Paris Saint-Germain fan. As such, he has spoken in recent hours on the poster which will pit his favorite team against FC Barcelona.

After almost ten months spent in the United States, he can rejoice in the quality of his integration. Victor Wembanyama did not need any time to adapt to shine on the American courts. A new phenomenon on the NBA planet, he recently regretted not having been able to return to French soil , where his daily life was very different from the one he shows today.

Victor Wembanyama without filter on Paris Saint-Germain

Expatriated in San Antonio since last June, Wembanyama received a royal welcome there and makes sure to return the favor to the local fans on the NBA courts. However, living so far from his family and his native lands represents a certain test for the young person inside. For example, it is impossible for him to go to the Parc des Princes to attend Paris Saint-Germain matches, as he was able to do last year:

The adage “out of sight, close to heart” nevertheless applies to Victor, who continues to support PSG, even thousands of kilometers from the French capital. No wonder, then, that he was questioned this Sunday about the upcoming Champions League quarter-final between the Parisian club and FC Barcelona. However, it is impossible for him to give a prediction on the outcome of this poster:

Victor Wembanyama: It’s been quite a few years now that it’s been the year or never (to win the LDC)! (Laughs) Afterwards, for several years, every year, I also believe in it, but I didn’t follow it very much this year. Last year, I went to see the matches several times so I was more invested, but here, I didn’t really follow it so I don’t really have a prediction. But hey, I’ll look at the results, that’s for sure.

 

Less aware than in the past of the form and career of Kylian Mbappé and his partners on the European scene, Wemby nevertheless hopes that they will finally go to the end this season. This will already involve a good performance this Wednesday at home, while the French big man will prepare for the clash played a few hours later by San Antonio in Oklahoma City.

More overwhelmed than ever this season, Victor Wembanyama therefore admits not having paid much attention to the results of Paris Saint-Germain. However, this will not prevent him from giving him his support for the XXL deadline this Wednesday.
