“Believe me when I say I am concerned about climate change and about our planet. I am aware of the responsibility we have,” Galtier instructed Canal Plus after PSG beat Juventus 2-1 in the Champions League.
“It was a badly timed joke in bad taste and I regret it.”

“It wasn’t the right time. It was a poor quality joke at a bad moment,” he added, insisting that PSG are “aware of the importance of climate change issues”.
