“I’m very proud to be joining Paris Saint-Germain. After my previous experiences in Italy and Russia, I now have this fantastic opportunity, not only to discover a new league, but above all one to wear one the most prestigious club jerseys in the world. I’d like to thank the chairman and the coach for the confidence they have shown in me by signing me.

“We all know the extraordinary sporting dimension of Paris Saint-Germain, its players and staff. I share the same high ambitions and I will do everything I can to give my club what it expects of me as a midfielder. I also look forward to the passionate atmosphere of the Parc des Princes, as I grew up with football fever in Argentina.”

Lionel MESSI with a chip goal for FC Barcelona in win

Lionel MESSI scored a vintage MESSI goal in FC Barcelona’s 2-0 win against Girona.

It’s not often that MESSI doesn’t score for Barcelona. And it’s not often that when he does score, his goals aren’t memorable. Which is why against Girona, it was a typical, vintage MESSI goal.

With the score at 1-0, MESSI was one on one with the goalkeeper and in brilliant fashion, chipped the ball over the goalkeeper.

AFA president Claudio TAPIA: Argentina want to host 2020 Copa America

AFA president Claudio TAPIA has confessed that Argentina want to host the 2020 Copa America.

Changes are coming to the Copa America format. This year’s edition will be the last time that the tournament would be held on an odd year and moving forward, it would have a four year format. Meaning that there would be a tournament in 2020, 2024 and so on and so forth.

There were rumors that next year’s tournament would be held in the United States, as it was in 2016 but that has been shut down. Claudio TAPIA has come out and stated the following:

“We know that it won’t be held in the United States as it was mentioned and we have started to talk. The dream (to host) the 2020 Copa America is there. We’ve made an informal request and we are starting on the formal request.”
