The long wait is finally over for Paris Saint-Germain prospect Xavi Simons.
There were multiple times this season where Simons made PSG’s squad list but did not end up featuring in those fixtures. But now, the Dutch talent has finally made his first career appearance for PSG.
In the second half of PSG’s Coupe de France Round of 64 fixture against Caen, manager Mauricio Pochettino elected to sub in the highly touted Simons for his first appearance for the club.
