Hatem Ben Arfa proved a big point when lifting the French Cup on Sunday. The Rennes player was facing his former team, who almost kicked him out and whose president criticised him on numerous occasions.
But revenge is best served cold and Ben Arfa took his this Sunday, taking the cup away from PSG. After the match, and Rennes' victory on penalties, Ben Arfa could not contain the emotion and broke down crying.
"It's special, especially considering the relationship with President Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi). In life you should never underestimate your rivals, sooner or later they end up coming back stronger," he said on camera.
In addition, the footballer went to shake hands with Al-Khelaïfi who, with an uncomfortable gesture, ended up congratulating his former player for the match and the trophy.
