  • Footage of a young Paris Saint-Germain seemingly embarrassing Marco Verratti for smoking a cigarette has surfaced on the internet
  • Though Verratti cannot be seen physically smoking in the video, he has been caught with a cigarette before
  • Despite his off-the-field lifestyle Verratti and his PSG teammates have started the 2022-23 campaign on an exciting note, recording a resounding win over Clermont Foot last Saturday

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti was left in an embarrassing position when a fan kindly gave him a reminder to hide his cigarette.

Verratti appeared to be exiting the club's training grounds and stopped to take pictures with the teeming fanbase of the club.

However, what will ensue in his interaction with the fans will bring some form of embarrassment to the midfield linchpin.

Verratti nodded with a slight smirk before winding up his car window to exit the scene at the club's training grounds.

The 29-year-old Italian midfielder has come under a lot of scrutiny for his off-the-field lifestyle but remains unconcerned about his critics.

He told Le Parisien in 2019 as quoted by SportBIBLE: “We play football, but sometimes people forget that we are also human beings. We get days off, we can go out with our friends, with family.
“What I hate is when people have unchangeable ideas of me. But honestly, I don’t really care. Everyone is free to think about what they want. You can judge me on the things I do on the pitch, and what I can bring to the team. But not off of it.
“I always hear that I am injured because of my lifestyle… When I injured my ankle (in January) that had nothing to do with it, a player takes my foot away. Things are said about me, said about others, that is truly rubbish.”

Verratti loses more than £2.5 million worth of cash, and jewellery after his holiday home was robbed

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain superstar Marco Verratti has been left counting losses after his holiday home was robbed.

Verratti has been holidaying in Ibiza with his model wife Jessica Aidi as the couple makes the most of the summer break.

However, the fun moments for the two have been ruined after burglars broke into their holiday home and made away with valuables.
