Presnel Kimpembe Facts

1. He was named after his maternal grandfather.
2. Although he was born and raised in France, he also holds Congolese nationality as his father belongs to that country. Due to this, he was eligible to represent both France and DR Congo (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly known as Zaire). In 2014, he had even played an Under-20 match for the latter country. However, he made a switch the following year by playing 7 Under-20 matches for France and has represented the country ever since.
3. In 2018, after France’s triumph at the FIFA World Cup, he was honored as a ‘Knight of the Legion of Honour’, the 5th-highest French honor, military or civil.
4. In the first leg of Paris Saint-Germain F.C.‘s round-of-16 match against Manchester United F.C., in the 2018–19 season of the UEFA Champions League, he had scored the very first goal of his senior professional career. It had given his team a valuable 2-0 away win and thus, a great chance to progress to the next round of the competition.
5. In the return leg of the match, his jump to block a shot in injury time was given as a penalty for handball after the referee had consulted VAR (Video Assistant Referee). Paris Saint-Germain F.C. went on to lose the game by 3 goals to 1, tying the match 3-3 on aggregate. Manchester United F.C. progressed to the next round due to the away goals role as Presnel’s mistake proved too costly for his team.
6. In June 2020, he had launched his own streetwear collection called PK3 Paris.
