Marca: Pacho wore a No. 51 jersey in Paris to commemorate his dead mother

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final and won the championship. Marca revealed the reason why Paris Saint-Germain defender Pacho chose the No. 51 jersey.

23-year-old Pacho is an Ecuadorian defender. He has become the main player after joining Paris Saint-Germain this season, making a total of 52 appearances and playing in the Champions League final. However, Pacho's jersey number is No. 51, which doesn't seem to be the number of the main defender.

"Marca" said that on November 2, 2019, Pacho made his debut in the Ecuador League One for Josen, and his mother Gladys died of illness on the same day, at the age of 51. Since then, No. 51 has been a special number for Pacho. He wore No. 51 in Josen Independence, Antwerp and Paris Saint-Germain, and only wore No. 3 in Frankfurt.

After winning the Champions League this season, Pacho also said: "Dedicate this championship to my mother, wherever she is, I know she is satisfied with what I have done."
