Argentina's eye-catching purple away jersey at this year's Qatar World Cup will also have a powerful message associated with it, with sportswear giant Adidas saying the choice of colour represented gender equality.
The two-times champions will wear a vibrant purple kit for the first time in their history with its fiery graphics inspired by the Sun of May on their national flag.
A congratulations is in order to the people of Harrison, New Jersey, who'll likely be counted among the last to have witnessed one of the final live performances of Lionel Messi in an Argentina jersey.
Kylian Mbappé scored in just eight seconds against Lille in PSG's third match of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 season on Sunday, making it the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history. Caen's Michel Rio also scored in eight seconds against AS Cannes in 1992.
Kick off, four touches, a Lionel Messi assist and a Donatello lob over the keeper. Lille players didn’t know what came at them.
¡GOOOOL DE PSG!
Paris Saint-Germain has been electric in the club’s first three games of the season scoring 14 and conceding two. Despite the success, PSG has a clear ego problem between Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. So, why are Neymar and Mbappé fighting?
Two instances during PSG’s 5-2 victory vs. Montpellier are the focal point of the Neymar-Mbappé feud. Let’s look at what happened during Saturday’s game that has the media talking about PSG’s ego issues.
Leo Messi had a flying start in Ligue 1, scoring a brace in PSG's 5-0 rout of Clermont Foot. One of those goals was a bicycle kick that sparked a few conversations around the world. Our favorite take? A sweet Argentinian grandma who fell from her chair trying to describe Messi's feat to her granddaughter.

FC Barcelona’s money issues are no secret. The Spanish giant famously had to let Lionel Messi leave for PSG after a violation of LaLiga’s financial fair play rules. In March 2021, the club was technically bankrupt. Prior to the 2021-22 season, La Blaugrana were not able to register the salaries of Memphis Depay and Eric García until several players accepted wage deferments. All the while, Barcelona debt reached a reported $1.32 billion.
