Paris St Germain News

The arrival of Messi, whose last contract with Barcelona was worth a total of 555 million euros ($650 million) and reported to be the most lucrative in world sport, is also set to provoke a renewed new debate about UEFA’s financial fair play rules. Spain defender Sergio Ramos was no longer wanted at Real Madrid, Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum had run down his contract with Liverpool and Italy’s Euro 2020-winning goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma also joined after his contract with AC Milan ran out.

Pochettino said that the Parisian club has always held a special place in his heart. Pochettino played for PSG as a defender in the early 2000s and also captained the side. He has been out of a job since being dismissed by Spurs in November 2019.

Tuchel was dismissed on Christmas eve following a 4-0 win over Racing Strasbourg. PSG have 35 points from 17 games, one point behind league leaders Olympique Lyonnais and Lille. Tuchel, 47, was appointed PSG boss in 2018 and guided them to two Ligue 1 titles.

"He is expected to make his return in January," said PSG. Neymar has previously suffered serious foot injuries in 2018 and 2019. He was seen crying as he was carried off on a stretcher following a tackle by Lyon`s Thiago Mendes, who was shown a straight red card.

Olympique Lyonnais stunned pre-tournament favourites Manchester City with a 3-1 victory on Saturday Lyon will now lock horns with Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League It is the first time that two French teams will compete in the semi-finals of the competition

Pablo Sarabia, Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe, Layvin Kurzawa, and Daniel Congre's own goal put the French champions on 55 points from 22 games.

Rennes have now failed to beat Marseille in their last five Ligue 1 encounters.

Angel Di Maria once again proved his worth with a double that earned Paris St Germain a 4-1 win at Nice and a five-point lead in the Ligue 1 standings on Friday.

Sevilla top La Liga with 10 points after four games and while Real are also unbeaten and only two points back, they are smarting from a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Paris St Germain in the Champions League which has coach Zinedine Zidane feeling the heat.

PSG suffered an embarrassing last-16 exit against a low-key Manchester United following a shock 3-1 home defeat last season, and on Wednesday, they had a point to prove to themselves.

Olympique Lyonnais` stuttering start to the Ligue 1 season continued when they conceded a last-gasp equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Amiens on Friday ahead of their Champions League debut.

The Brazilian is likely to make his first appearance of the season for the Ligue 1 leaders at home against Racing Strasbourg on Saturday.

Having lost 1-0 to Montpellier last time out, Lyon went in front in the first half through Memphis Depay -- the Dutchman`s fourth goal of the season.

Group A comprises of Paris St Germain, Real Madrid, Club Brugge, and Galatasaray which will certainly be worth watching out for. 

Navas has been at Madrid since 2014 and was their number one during their unprecedented hat-trick of Champions League titles between 2016 and 2018 but has lost his place in the team since Belgium keeper Thibaut Courtois joined last year.

PSG were also awarded a penalty courtesty of VAR when referee Clement Turpin reviewed footage of a corner and deemed Nimes defender Pablo Martinez had handled the ball.

It was a grim start for a toothless Marseille side, who hired Villas-Boas to improve on last season`s fifth place which saw them miss out on European football.

Neymar left Barcelona in 2017 when he made a move to Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain. 

The Qatari-owned club has won the Ligue 1 for six of the last seven campaigns, with only AS Monaco interrupting the run in 2016-17.

Alves is the only player to win 40 trophies across club and international football and Sao Paulo referred to the signing as the "the most victorious player in the history of football".
