PSG to honour victims of Paris attacks with special jerseys
The French champions have added the words “Je Suis Paris” meaning “I am Paris” to the front of their home shirt, while the phrase “Ici C ” est Paris” or “Here is Paris” has been printed inside the neckline.

“Life goes on but it’s easier said than done”. PSG has dominated Ligue 1 in the opening months of the season, winning 11 and drawing the other two of the club’s13 games so far.
The Stade de France was among the venues targeted during last Friday’s attacks in the capital.
Leaders PSG, with 35 points from 13 matches, 10 more than second-placed Olympique Lyonnais, who play at Nice on Friday, will expect an eighth consecutive league win. “Up until now, our season has been nearly flawless, so we have to keep going”.
The capacity crowd at Wembley paid tribute to the victims prior to the England-France friendly with a rousing, stadium-wide rendition of La Marseillaise.
