Collins's 'Who Said I Would' has been played ahead of home games
for 29 years but DJ Snake's 'Intro Mixed' was used for their
first home game against Racing Strasbourg on Aug. 14 and again
last Saturday for the match against Clermont.
"I provided a soundtrack for (Lionel) Messi's presentation
video," Paris-born DJ Snake said on social media.
"I found out, like you, that it was used as intro music for the
players' entrance when it's not appropriate. I didn't want to
harm the club by speaking out on this subject, but I can't
accept this situation as a supporter and you know the love I
have for our colours."
PSG said they still intend to use the Collins song but that the
club should also be willing to embrace change.
"It was not a mistake. We are very attached to this song, I hear
it, and our will is not to eliminate it from all our games,"
PSG's director of diversification Fabien Allegre told news daily
Le Parisien.
"But why couldn't we have (the Pet Shop Boys') Go West or the
Phil Collins song when the players arrive for warm-up? I
received a lot of positive feedback from people who enjoyed the
song.
"We will make adjustments, but let's not prevent the club from
continuing its journey by remaining in the past."
PSG are top of Ligue 1 with a maximum 15 points from five games
and begin their Champions League campaign with a trip to Club
Brugge on Wednesday.
