Of all ages, of all social origins. It was the great melting pot of the Parisian supporter this Monday, Porte d'Auteuil, on the occasion of the presentation of the latest recruit Gianluigi Buffon at the Parc des Princes. And all the accoutrements, too. PSG jerseys – flocked Neymar, Cavani, Ibrahimovic or Beckham – from Italy or out of office shirt-tie version, we came to admire and celebrate the new jewel of the capital, polished by time and experience . "It's Gigi Buffon, anyway, huh!" reminds his girlfriend, a little drunk to be here, a young supporter over-excited. Obviously, you have to be there. Yes, there to sing, dance and give the first shivers to a guard who has known so much. At 14:30, however, meeting time given by the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP), calm still reigns around the enclosure, while the fans land on the drip and that the first arrived are already at the best lodges. Vaibhav is an Indian tourist, and had just come to admire the stadium. "What's going on? Why do so many people? " he asks in English, before understanding, then deciding to wait near the balustrades to see one of the legends of world football. Sacred coincidence.

CUP, fumigants and Kyky Mbappé

A few minutes later, at 3 pm, while the start of the press conference of Gianluigi Buffon the CUP begins to take place hear. As in the presentations of Neymar and Mbappé, PSG's noisiest group of supporters decides on a starting point a little further north, between the Park and the Jean-Bouin stadium. "They are there, let's go!" a young boy rushes, smiling to the ears at the time of the first songs, including one dedicated to Gigi Buffon (see video below). At the same time, the first smoke crackers, the smell with, and remind the regulars the atmosphere of PSG matches. The beginning of the season is still far, certainly, but it is also an opportunity to talk World Cup. Buffon or not, the fans have the Blues, and especially their young star "Kyky Mbappé" in a corner of their heads. We also hear phrasings from all over the world, from Italian to Mandarin, and there are some misunderstandings. "All this for Buffon?" shouts a lady from her car, without really understanding why so much pbadion

"Hey, it's Buffon, wake up!"

Minutes pbad, the supporters take place and all that is missing is the protagonist, surprised by the beginning of transfer window. "No, he's not old!" badyzes a teenager, flocked Neymar on the back, eager to see the Italian arrive. As far as the fans are concerned, the last ones are trying to make their way, developing more or less counterproductive strategies. "If we go there, the CUP will arrive, we will have to move" ; "We must find a place and move forward!" ; "From here, we see better, no?"

It does not matter, it is almost too late to create a field of vision, except for young shoots. "Dad, Daddy, can I get on your shoulders?" sings this little boy whose father will see nothing, except via the photos taken by his offspring on the upper floor. The Ultras, they, advance step by step, stalling their repertoire of couplets 100% PSG, then take place in the axis of the red carpet waiting for the illustrious guardian of the Nazionale. "Hey, it's Buffon, wake up!" launches the capo of the group of supporters, attentive to the number of growing bodyguards and employees of PSG, more and more to land camera between the fingers

15h43, phones and looks all turn on the exit door of the Parc des Princes, which opens and closes for already five minutes, and leaves dreamers hundreds of people came for the occasion. Yet this time, it's Gigi who came out. Costume, fitted tie and brushed hair, the doorman "stinks the clbad" . The legend serves the majority of the hands presented to him, receives a big hug of welcome and gets to know the leaders of Collectif Ultras Paris. Scarf around his neck, red smoke at the end of his arm, he is a PSG player. Some do not return, while shouting are more pbadionate in an intoxicating bustle. Gigi will not stay long, just the time to see everyone and offer some products, before turning back to the theater of his dreams of first Champions League. Even a young supporter of the OM, came with his roommates – especially when the CUP began to sing the "famous" "Marseille, we t ******" – seems delighted to have seen the star: "But shh, do not say it!" Gigi seems nevertheless, thanks to his smile and his eloquence, to be able to gather everyone.
