Emotional Liverpool defender Sakho keeps door open to PSG return

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has made a teary farewell to his former PSG fans.

Sakho appeared at the Parc Des Princes ahead of the Parisian club's Ligue 1 clash with Monaco and addressed the home crowd.

Holding a microphone in one hand and his daughter in the other, Sakho took to the Parc Des Princes pitch to give an emotional speech to the onlooking fans.

"I'm very proud to be here tonight," admitted Sakho. "I remember when I was young, I was up there, there in the stands and watched PSG play. My story with PSG isn't over yet."

The crowd then cheered the centre-back as tears began to flow from his eyes, and he waved back as he made his way off the pitch to return to the stands and watch the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
