PSG: Kimpembe’s sacrifice ignites Twitter

The hero of the evening is him on the Paris Saint-Germain side! In the 77th minute of the match against Lille (0-0), while striker Burak Yilmaz left alone on goal, central defender Presnel Kimpembe (25, 11 games in L1 this season) sacrificed himself by performing a superb tackle slipped into the feet of Lille. While he had just slammed his left thigh a few seconds earlier, the French international really pulled out to stop the Turk despite the pain. Then released on injury, the 2018 world champion was praised on Twitter.

Twitter proclaims its admiration for Kimpembe

I’m joking.
