PSG star Presnel Kimpembe had a brutal reaction to the Argentine national team’s elimination by France at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 28-year-old defender seized the moment to share a cryptic post on social media.

The Argentine Olympic team lost 1-0 to France in the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics, thereby getting eliminated from the tournament. Javier Mascherano‘s under-23 side conceded an early goal in the fifth minute, with Jean Philippe Mateta scoring the sole goal. Their rivals failed to convert multiple chances. Moreover, the defeat ended La Albiceleste’s hopes of finishing the year on a high note after their recent Copa America victory.

Meanwhile, French center-back Presnel Kimpembe broke his silence on social media with a cryptic post featuring laughing emojis. Fans suggested it might refer to France’s Olympic victory over Argentina, but the Frenchman’s intent remains unclear. Moreover, the PSG defender’s post could have been a jab at critics who had targeted France after their defeat to Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final.

Additionally, the match ended in a brawl between Argentine and French players right after the final whistle. La Albiceleste players were jeered throughout the game by a hostile crowd, due to Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez’s racist comments about French players.

Despite this setback, PSG is optimistic about his recovery and is adopting a cautious approach to prevent further issues. He will miss the friendly matches against Sturm Graz and RB Leipzig and is also expected to be unavailable for PSG’s opening Ligue 1 match.
