Mauricio Pochettino is set to be removed as coach of PSG.
Pochettino has won Ligue 1 with PSG but is unlikely to continue with the club. According to Le Parisien, PSG will be releasing him shortly.
His exit has been rumored since PSG’s elimination in the Champions League against Real Madrid. As coach, Pochettino joined the league champions in 2021 where has has won the Trophée des Champions, the Coupe de France and the league.
Guido Rodríguez and Germán Pezzella won the Copa del Rey with Real Betis, defeating Valencia in the final.
Rodríguez and Pezzella both celebrated their first trophy of the season. With Real Betis in the Copa del Rey final, the two Argentines started the match for Betis.
The thrilling 1-1 draw went to penalty kicks and while both players did not participate in the penalty shootout, they were able to celebrate.
It is a first trophy won for both players in Europe. Congratulations to Guido and Pezzella!
Lionel Messi scored a goal and it was his goal which won PSG Ligue 1.
Messi would score the goal which would give PSG the league and a goal worthy of such a match. The Argentine would receive the ball on the outside of the penalty area and strike it from distance and score.
That makes four Argentine players and a coach winning the league as Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María, Leandro Paredes, Mauro Icardi and Mauricio Pochettino are champions of France.
For Lionel Messi, it’s a first league title not won with FC Barcelona. After winning 10 La Liga titles with the Catalan club, Messi lifts his first trophy in France.
Ángel Di María is now on five Ligue 1 titles and it’s a third league title with the club for Leandro Paredes. Mauro Icardi is now on two Ligue 1 titles with PSG while it’s a first ever league title as coach for Mauricio Pochettino.

Argentina have several matches line-up prior to the World Cup.
Lionel Scaloni and Argentina will have a World Cup qualifier, with matches in Europe and one against a CONMEBOL team prior to Qatar. Argentina’s next match will be against Italy on June 1 in London.
The match against Italy has been confirmed for several weeks as it will be the Copa America champions against the Euro champions. That match is on June 1 at Wembley stadium.
Another match is against Israel. As we reported earlier, the match against Israel is rumored to be on April 6 in Europe.
A match against Brazil has been confirmed but according to reports, it might not happen. Argentina vs. Brazil has been announced for June 11 in Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. However, as we reported earlier, the AFA are not too fond on the match being played in Australia as it would be a financial commitment and would fall at a time where the players should be resting.
There is a second match against Brazil which has been set. The postponed World Cup qualifying match from September 2021 now has a date. FIFA have stated that the match must be played and is set for September 22 in Brazil. This would complete the South American World Cup qualifiers.
One match that is rumored to happen is that against a CONMEBOL team. Argentina were going to play Mexico in the United States but since both teams were drawn together at the World Cup, that match will not be happening. Instead, there are reports that Argentina would still be looking to play a CONMEBOL team.
And another match that has been rumored is one against an Arab speaking country. However, that is just a rumor.
