Saints’ Jordan and Kamara watch PSG win in the Champions League ahead of NFL game in Paris
New Orleans Saints players Cam Jordan and Alvin Kamara attended Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) Champions League victory against Barcelona on Tuesday. The New Orleans team will play the Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France on Sunday, marking the NFL's first regular-season game in Paris. PSG secured a 4-2 win with late goals, with teenage sensation Lamine Yamal scoring for Barcelona.
The Saints delegation arrived in Paris on Monday, addressing civil unrest during a virtual news conference. France experienced riots and widespread looting over the weekend due to protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions. About 2,400 people were arrested, and thousands of businesses were damaged or looted.
President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence in a televised speech, and more protests are expected this week, particularly on Thursday and Saturday.
