This Saturday, on the occasion of the arrival of Racing Club de Lens in Ligue 1, and on Wednesday in the Champions League during the clash against Atlético de Madrid, the artist Jean-Luc Guizonne will animate these two matches. 45 years old, Guizonne has been a regular visitor to the microphones since he made himself known to the general public in 2005 by participating in Star Academy 5 before joining the troupe of the musical “The Lion King” abroad and in France for many years. His experience on stage, his voice and his stature have greatly encouraged PSG teams to maintain his profile.

A great fan of the capital’s club, the singer will have the opportunity to show his qualities during these two evenings and to inflame a Parisian public that is very attentive to the identity of the successor to Michel Montana, who held the position from 1998 to June 2024.

On this issue, the capital club remains particularly attentive to the feedback provided by regular visitors to the Parc des Princes who were able to express one’s doubts or disappointment depends, as with the speakers chosen since the beginning of the season.
Miguel Derennes had some small adaptation problems during his first steps, but he ended up orienting himself in the minutes spent on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. Less experienced on the subject, his successor Hervé Koller made himself known in 2016 after winning the “Speaker for an Evening” operation which offered a fan the opportunity to host a PSG meeting. The name of this Javier Pastore fan – to whom he had dedicated a song in 2011 – therefore appeared on the small papers of the club who wanted to see him back in action a few years later. The experience has received a mixed reception from some subscribers who will still have to wait before definitively familiarizing themselves with the new voice of the Park.
