Lionel Messi said he will return to live in Barcelona with his family when his time at Paris Saint-Germain is over and would like to help the LaLiga club in the role of a technical director.
Messi ended a two-decade stay at the cash-strapped Spanish club, where he is their record scorer with 672 goals, in the off-season and joined PSG on a free transfer on a two-year deal.
PARIS — Angel Di Maria showed his worth as he set up the first and scored the winner to give Paris St Germain a 2-1 win against champions Lille in Ligue 1 after Lionel Messi limped off injured on Friday.
In the absence of Kylian Mbappe, who is suffering from an infection, Di Maria shone throughout the game, providing captain Marquinhos with the equaliser after Jonathan David's opener before finding the back of the net two minutes from time.
With El Clásico, Reds-Red Devils, the Derby d'Italia and Le Classique all falling on Sunday, American viewers were presented with a smörgåsbord of hatred and fury from across Europe.
Marseille’s standing as an epicenter of football culture and fandom has long been under-appreciated by the English-speaking world, but there’s no denying that — for better or worse — the Vélodrome had the best atmosphere of all the aforementioned games.
El próximo domingo 24 de octubre será uno de esos días que todo fanático del fútbol sueña. Uno de esos días en que uno despierta y espera que nadie lo moleste. Nadie. Una cita íntima entre tú, el televisor y el control remoto.
Mauro Icardi no se da por vencido. Luego de verse involucrado en rumores de una supuesta infidelidad, el jugador del PSG por estos días ha dejado el fútbol completamente de lado para tratar de reconciliarse con su esposa y agente, Wanda Nara.
Es tan grande el deseo de recuperar su amor, que en una movida para demostrar que ella es lo único que le importa, Icardi dejó de seguir a todo el mundo en Instagram, incluyendo su familia, sus amigos, su club, sus compañeros y hasta a Lionel Messi. ¿La única excepción? Por supuesto, Wanda y nada más que Wanda.
If European football wasn’t as familiar with American manager Jesse Marsch as it should’ve been, it sure as hell is now. On Tuesday, the RB Leipzig boss masterminded a stirring performance at the Parc des Princes that had the German side deservedly ahead 2-1 with just over 20 minutes to play.
But a terrible mistake from American midfielder Tyler Adams allowed Lionel Messi to equalize before a rash challenge in the area gifted PSG another from the spot.
Jesse Marsch’s first season as RB Leipzig manager was always going to be full of growing pains. He had impossibly large shoes to fill in replacing Julian Nagelsmann — who led Leipzig to the 2020 Champions League semifinals, becoming the youngest-ever coach to reach that stage — and Marsch inherited a side in transition with Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer following Nagelsmann to Bayern Munich while Ibrahima Konaté signed with Liverpool.
The greatest love story in football — is it David Beckham and Posh Spice? Too tired. Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo? Too cookie-cutter. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez? That’s a Peloton ad.
No, nothing comes close to Mauro Icardi, Wanda Nara and whoever is completing the messy love triangle at this particular moment in time.
La relación amorosa más mediática y emblemática en el mundo del fútbol durante la última década parece estar en crisis. En una serie de enigmáticos mensajes y comportamientos en redes sociales, Wanda Nara habría dado a entender durante este fin de semana su quiebre con Mauro Icardi, delantero del PSG francés. El jugador, por su parte, busca la reconciliación.
Nara, vale recordar, es o era también la agente del futbolista.
Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino is confident that Neymar will play for many more years after the Brazil forward this week said that the next World Cup could be his last.
Neymar, 29, said Qatar 2022 could be his final appearance at the tournament because he was not sure if had the "strength of mind to deal with football anymore.”
