Like The Galácticos Before Them, Are The Stars Of PSG Doomed To Fail?

Have you seen the potential Paris Saint-Germain starting lineups for the 2021-22 season? They all share two qualities: (1) they’ve got more boom boom than Charo and (2) they’re all wildly different.

All we know is that Mauricio Pochettino — previously a Marcelo Bielsa disciple whose high-press hit vertically, horizontally and everywhere in between — is now a protégé of FIFA Ultimate Team champion Fnatic Tekkz.

What will the tactics board look like at the Parc des Princes?

Messi moving centrally to shoehorn Ángel Di María into the starting lineup?

Pulisic’s Pretty Face Will Grace Everyone’s Screens When They Watch Newest Intro For Champions League

The new Champions League intro video has been released and USMNT fans will be happy to know Christian Pulisic made the final cut. Pulisic’s grand cameo comes in at the end of the video with the Chelsea trophy lift.

Hugely Talented Lassina Traoré Scores 2 Goals In First 2 Shakhtar Appearances

More than a few eyebrows would have been raised at the news of Lassina Traoré's move to Shakhtar Donetsk this summer. Just two years after he joined Ajax from the youth side of the Dutch giant's affiliate in Cape Town, Traoré made the $12 million move to Ukraine as one of the first signings of new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who left Sassuolo to take up the post. 

Court Decision Demands UEFA Revoke All Penalties For Super League Creation

Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus released a joint statement welcoming a Madrid court's decision on Friday asking European soccer governing body UEFA to revoke action against them for planning the creation of the breakaway Super League.

Weston McKennie Snubbed From UEFA’s Goal Of The Season List By Goals Nowhere Near As Good

I have a bone to pick with you, UEFA. Not only did you block me from embedding your video with all the nominations for Goal of the Season, forcing me to find them on Twitter, but you didn’t include Weston McKennie’s scissor-kick goal at Camp Nou. I need to have a word with the committee.

Recognize These Clubs? Take This Test To See How Knowledgeable You Really Are In European Soccer

The Europa Conference League released the draw for its third round of qualifying on Monday. If you can recognize more than 31 of the following 98 clubs, then you outsmarted me and can claim my job.

When UEFA announced that a third club tournament, the Europa Conference League, would be held for the 2021-22 season, I was skeptical. Who the hell would play in this tournament? What obscure Moldovan city is Tottenham going to have to travel to? 

Sergio Ramos Llega Al PSG Con El 4 En La Espalda Y Hambre De Champions

Ya es oficial. El PSG ha presentado oficialmente a Sergio Ramos como el nuevo bastión de su defensa. El jugador español llega a París después de 16 temporadas junto al Real Madrid.

Dado que su contrato con los merengues finalizaba el 30 de junio, Ramos ha llegado al PSG en calidad de libre, firmando un acuerdo de dos años. Otra manera de decirlo: Ramos se mantendrá en el Parque de los Príncipes hasta junio de 2023.

The Away Goals Rule Has Been Removed From All UEFA Club Competitions

European soccer's governing body UEFA said on Thursday it had approved a proposal to remove the away goals rule from all its club competitions involving men's, women's and youth teams, beginning with the qualifying phase of the 2021-22 campaign.

The away goals rule, introduced by UEFA in 1965-66, has been applied when the score of a two-legged tie is level on aggregate after 180 minutes, with the team scoring more goals away from their home venue declared winners.

FC Barcelona's New Home Kits Are Gross

FC Barcelona released new home kits for the 2021-2022 La Liga season and they're chaotically terrible. The new shirts appear as if the creators never agreed on a set design and continued the fight throughout the process.

With Barcelona being in severe debt, we should have assumed the new kits would be this bad. They feature verticle traditional blaugrana stripes and a new design inspired by the team crest. With tons of stripes and lots of colors, these kits fail to impress.

¿Debe N'Golo Kanté Ganar El Balón De Oro 2021?

Un discreto y humilde 29 de marzo de 1991 nació en París, Francia, un tal N’Golo Kanté. Hijo de inmigrantes africanos que tuvieron la oportunidad de radicarse en la ciudad de la luz y buscar un futuro mejor.

Como otros tantos colegas futbolistas, la infancia de Kanté fue tan hostil como prometedora. El muchacho fue recolector de basura en París para ayudar a su familia y a la temprana edad de 11 años perdió a su padre. Eso sí, a pesar de los obstáculos que se le presentaron en la vida, se mantenía en la lucha por cumplir su gran sueño: ser jugador de fútbol.
