PSG

PSG look set for another shake up this summer, with the potential departure of head coach Christophe Galtier, and several star names from the Parc des Princes. Another Champions League Round of 16 exit, this time at the hands of Bayern Munich, has heightened speculation over Galtier’s future, with the club’s owners unhappy with another European failure.

The final installment of the football awards season took place at FIFA headquarters in Zurich on Monday with FIFA’s The Best awards. The other major awards — Ballon d’Or, the Globe Soccer awards and the UEFA player awards — all took place in recent months.

Lionel Messi says he does not feel comfortable being a role model and has never dreamed of being the best player in football history. The Paris Saint-Germain star was given the Ballon d’Or this week for the seventh time, extending his record as the man with the most wins in the history of the award.

The 2021 calendar year didn’t present voters for the men’s Ballon d’Or with many can’t-miss candidates, but there was one staring them right in the face. And it wasn’t Lionel Messi.

When Lionel Messi departed Barcelona and joined Paris Saint-Germain, the signing shook up the sports world. It also fattened Michael Jordan’s wallet. The NBA legend has already made $7 million off Messi’s transfer, according to Argentinian outlet TyC Sports, which reports that PSG has totaled $140 million in sales of Messi’s No.
