Translation (from Genny or Inés – not sure who posted it on Facebook!):
Antonio García (PSG handball player and of the Spanish National team): “A big pleasure to meet the great Rafael Nadal, who got a standing ovation from the crowd in the stadium! He’s also loved here!”
First time in Parc des Princes for Rafa, says he’s gonna enjoy the match. Warm welcome for him on the grass :) Players applauding him too.

The PSG match visit is an excellent PR idea to promote Rafa among French sports fans! Great to see the respect and love he got from the Parisian crowd in Parc des Princes. Hope they will bring it to Philippe Chatrier, too…
Rafa was the guest of his friend, a Qatari sheik who owns the PSG team. Nice of the sheik to invite Rafa to friendly confines.
