Redskins' Norman trains with PSG
Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman was on hand to watch Paris Saint-Germain wrap up their title-winning Ligue 1 campaign.
Norman trained with the French powerhouse before the Parisian side defeated Nantes 4-0 Saturday, and expressed genuine admiration for the club.
"They've seen my face so they know I'm real about it," Norman said to Scott Allen of The Washington Post.
Norman said he flexes his soccer knowledge on his teammates, albeit through video games.
"We've got some players that play FIFA and they want to challenge me because they know how big of a FIFA-head I am, and I beat them," Norman said. "I beat them pretty convincingly, but at the same time they all have fun with it."
Last month, Norman signed a five-year, $75-million contract with the Redskins. In flying overseas, Norman likely hopes to channel the championship pedigree that he bore witness to over the weekend.
