PSG academy sporting director Yohan Cabaye was happy to be back at Crystal Palace last week.

Cabaye was back for the U21 clash between PSG and the Eagles.

“From Under-13-19, I try to organise the sports side of the Academy and manage the coaches. It's really interesting and I'm very passionate and happy to still be involved in the game," he told the Palace website.

“I'm playing Football Manager in real life now! As I said, I put a lot of energy into this and it really is like playing Football Manager."

He went on to add: “[The Premier League International Cup] is a very good experience. We're looking forward to playing these kinds of games, because it is important for their development to play different kinds of football.

“[PSG] have the chance to play in the UEFA Youth League and now we have the Premier League International Cup. It's going to be different but it is important for the improvement [of the young players]."

Finally, Cabaye reflected on his three seasons in south London: “It's hard for me to pick a favourite memory during my time at the club.

“My first game, my first goal, the way we got saved when we didn't start well in 2017/18. My best memory would be the entire three years at the club. I had a really good time here, there are really good people here, good human beings, for me I feel like I'm part of the family here."
