16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery spoke about the historic debut for PSG with Messi and Neymar

Midfielder “Paris Saint Germain” Warren Zaire-Emery commented on his first appearance in the Paris club jersey in the opening game of the French championship against Clermont. At the age of 16 years and 151 days, he became PSG’s youngest debutant in Ligue 1.

“I’m very happy to have entered the club’s history today, for me it’s a matter of pride. I’m the youngest player to ever play in Ligue 1 and that’s special. Did I expect a replacement? On the bench you always have to expect the coach to call you and give you a chance. At that moment I felt incredible joy. I went out for a few minutes and gave everything on the pitch. I always give my best. Everyone dreams of playing with such players! I hope that I will have many more matches. And now my childhood dream has come true,” PSG’s official website quoted Zaire-Emery as saying.

Recall that the 16-year-old Frenchman came out in the 82nd minute instead of Marco Verratti. PSG beat Clermont away 5-0. For the Parisians, Lionel Messi scored twice while Neymar, Ashraf Hakimi and Marquinhos scored.
