PSG players sparked curiosity during their UEFA Champions League title celebrations after several stars were seen wearing protective ski-style goggles following their victory over Arsenal in the final.
PSG secured back-to-back European crowns on Saturday night, defeating Arsenal 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Budapest. As celebrations erupted, players including Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué were photographed wearing the distinctive eyewear, prompting widespread discussion among fans on social media.
Many supporters questioned why the players had opted for ski goggles despite the warm conditions. However, the eyewear was not chosen for fashion purposes.
According to reports from French media, the goggles are commonly used during championship celebrations to protect players from champagne spray. The liquid can irritate the eyes, while the goggles also offer protection against flying corks that may be released with considerable force during celebrations.
