Summary
PSG are The Wombles of European football. That’s the conclusion that Dotun, Andy and David come to when trying to work out when PSG will ever not be in a transitional period. Today, we discuss Messi’s suspension from PSG and why he is heading for his second backdoor exit in a row.
Plus, Dotun asks “why are we waiting” as Napoli’s title celebrations are put on hold and we hear all about the “Sam Allardyce of Spain” and why Valencia’s chances of survival in La Liga are looking increasingly slim.
