The team from the capital of France received information that left no one indifferent.

Not everything is a celebration at PSG. Although the team became Ligue 1 champion this Saturday after drawing 1-1 against Racing Strasbourg with a goal from Lionel Messi, a piece of news shook all the members of the squad and the fans, so much so that the celebrations passed to the background.

After the league title, the footballers had a day off and were allowed to travel, so much so that Neymar and Gianluigi Donnarumma could be seen at the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix. However, another of the team's players suffered a serious accident in his hometown and now he has the whole world on edge.

It's about Sergio Rico. The PSG substitute goalkeeper moved to Seville after the consecration and had a fall when he was riding a horse. Immediately afterwards, the animal hit the Spaniard's head with its hind legs and now the condition of the 29-year-old footballer is critical: he had to be intubated and is hospitalized. He would have suffered a head injury.

PSG's message after Sergio Rico's accident

At the time of learning the news, the club spoke on social networks. “Paris Saint-Germain found out this Sunday about Sergio Rico's accident and is in constant contact with his family. The entire Parisian community gives him his support, ”wrote the official account of the club. Now it remains to wait for how the goalkeeper's status evolves, although it is practically a fact that he will only be available again for the next season.
