The world of sports is quite big, consisting of different forms. Players are often seen attending matches outside of their sport, either alone or with family and friends.

No.3 Tennis star Novak Djokovic was recently spotted attending a football game in support of PSG at Parc des Princes on June 3, 2023, along with the presence of his two kids Stefan and Tara.

The 22-time Grand Slam champion met the two PSG star players, Lionel Messi and Neymar, for the first time before the match in the locker room as they were busy preparing for the game.

Neymar signed off Novak's daughter Tara's jersey, who was a big fan of his because of her school friend, who is half Brazilian and half Serbian and not for the sport.

For Djokovic- “It was my first time meeting them in person. They are great champions, and it was an honor to meet them, especially Messi, who left an extraordinary mark in the history of football."

The match was Lionel Messi's last for PSG, playing against Clermont. They, however, lost the match by 2-3 with no goals by him but two penalties scored each by Sergio Ramos and Kylian Mbappe.

Novak also talked about his children's importance. “They bring me positive energy, peace, and serenity. My kids’ presence gives me balance, and it takes my mind off tennis. I am grateful they came.”
