Paris Brunner reveals his hidden talent at the piano

Paris Brunner, the 20-year-old AS Monaco forward, surprised fans by revealing he can play the piano. In an interview broadcast by Ligue1+, he said: "Je joue du piano chez moi. Je peux interpréter beaucoup de chansons comme Skyfall par exemple. En dehors du piano, j'essaye également de jouer de la guitare."

International competition

Congo coach Sébastien Desabre commented on Brunner's absence from the 26-man squad named for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. "On a fait notre devoir mais on ne court pas après les joueurs", he said. The coach explained that the national team staff had contacted Brunner's parents directly and presented a project to Brunner, who remains free to choose DR Congo.

Controversial celebration

Mamadou Coulibaly, Paris Brunner's teammate at Monaco, recently celebrated a goal by imitating the controversial gesture Brunner made when he was handed a two-match suspension. This new imitation could lead to another sanction for Coulibaly.
