But there may have been another reason for Jordan’s presence in Paris.
The 55-year-old famously has his own clothing line which features the iconic Jumpman logo.
And Jordan has teamed up with Nike to produce PSG’s third kit for this season.

The deal was agreed as part of PSG’s £22m-a-year sponsorship by Nike.
The American sportswear giants are keen for the Jordan brand to expand throughout Europe.

Speaking at the launch of the kit, Jordan beamed: “Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain share a distinct position in sport and style, so to partner with the club is a natural fit.”
