So this week Lionel Messi was suspended for two weeks by Paris Saint-Germain and will be fined after taking an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia… Coming up we’ll discuss the events that surely signal the end of Project Messi in Paris & where he might play next.. Is Messi now more of a very expensive PR tool than a footballer? Ian Irving is joined by The Athletic's we have Adam Crafton and also our Paris Saint-Germain writer Peter Rutzler in Paris. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
