The PSV crowd's show of support for Maxime Lestienne impressed the Belgian. "I want to thank the supporters for the wonderful gesture yesterday," he said.
Support in difficult time
In the match against Excelsior, PSV supporters applauded Lestienne between minute 16 and minute 17. With the action, set up by the supporters themselves, the fans wanted to massively show their support for the Belgian. Lestienne recently lost his mother unexpectedly. As a result, he was not with the selection on Saturday. However, he did witness the show of support from the stands at Philips Stadium. "It was beautiful. It helps me in this difficult time," he spoke gratefully.
