Leonardo, the PSG director not the Ninja Turtle, isn't exactly having a fine few weeks. After Thiago Silva was sent off for lightly placing his hands on the referee last week, Leonardo decided it would be a smart idea to bump the referee in the tunnel. This may result in a suspension or worse, a points deduction for PSG.
PSG finally clinched the Ligue 1 title with a 1-0 win against Lyon on Sunday. This pleased Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But as he celebrated with his teammates in the dressing room after the match, PSG director of football Leonardo attempted to tell Ibrahimovic that he had to go take an anti-doping test. This did not please Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Stan Kroenke seems determined to stay in charge of Arsenal, even if the proposed takeover offer is forthcoming, the American billionaire is ready to dig his heels in at the Emirates. With Alisher Usmanov topping the UK rich list and desperate to get a seat on the Arsenal board, a lot of Gooners are not happy about Kroenke's stance but there is little we can do.
Financial Fair Play? What is that? That appears to be the attitude of Paris Saint-Germain director of football Leonardo who says that his club will buy big again this summer.
PSG is closing in on its first Ligue 1 title in 19 years and after an impressive Champions League run, further spending is expected this summer from the club's Qatari owners ahead of another assault on the Champions League next season.
Following the Champions League quarterfinal draw in Nyon, Switzerland, PSG director of football Leonardo conducted an interview with Sky Italia to discuss his side match-up against Barcelona. Leonardo had a bit of a surprise planned though, and during the interview, he asked his girlfriend, Sky Italia presenter Anna Billo, to marry him.
In news that is only set to delight a segment of the Parisian population and Victoria herself (Paris Fashion Week!!), David Beckham has joined Paris Saint-Germain. Of course, he justified the short-term move by saying he didn't want to play for another Premiership club aside from Man United and that Carlo Ancelotti was "one of the best coaches" he had ever worked with at Milan.
Paris Saint-Germain have undergone quite the transformation since Nasser Al-Khelaifi took over the club last year. One of the more important moves that PSG have made, however, has not been the purchase of Javier Pastore last summer or even Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva this year.
When you're earning approximately £120,000 a week, there will probably come a time when you'll
walk into a shop, spot the ugliest item on the rack and say to yourself: "F**K it, I'm
buying that shit!" This is about the only explanation we can drum up for the epic
Chicken hoodie worn by Mario Balotelli to Man City's training ground
yesterday.
Lucas Moura had agreed to sign for Manchester United before Paris Saint-Germain made a late bid,
according to his agent.
PSG confirmed this week that Lucas ad become the club's latest acquisition and would make the
switch from Sao Paulo in January, leading Sir Alex Ferguson to vent his frustration on
Wednesday.
19-year-old Brazilian attacker Lucas Moura was within touching distance of becoming a Man Utd
player when nouveau riche PSG jumped in to gazump the Old Trafford giants courtesy of a whopping
€45m bid for the player.
According to Moura's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, a deal had already been agreed for the Sao Paulo
youngster to join the Red Devils.
The silence surrounding Paris Saint-Germain and Lucas Moura was finally lifted when Sao Paulo
vice-president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopes said the club had been approached by the French side.
Former Brazil and São Paulo player, Leonardo, is director of football at PSG and in an interview
with newspaper Le 10 Sport, Lopes confirmed: "We have been probed by PSG about Lucas .
Gerard Pique and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, former colleagues at Barcelona before the great Zlatan-Pep ego
trip, were reunited during the PSG-Barca friendly over the weekend. Despite the Swede's goals which
resulted in an entertaining 2-2 draw between the sides, the French outfit subsequently lost 4-1 on
penalties.
When a player that fans wanted to keep moves away from a club, the player is usually the first
to be blamed for being greedy, heartless or just a flat-out heel. But after completing his joint
move to PSG with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva has decided to make it clear that he didn't want
to leave Milan and he wasn't lured away by PSG's riches.
Bring out your capes and Batman cereals because today, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has
officially escaped from the claws of the Italian Paparazzi Mafia! Yes, it's a sad day for
Milanistas young and old (well, for the ones who do love him, at least) as Ibrahimovic has sealed a
reported €20 million ($25 million) move to Paris Saint-Germain, after their
Chief Prophet, Leonardo put in a good word and basically whispered : "We'll
make you a star here" under his breath at the meeting yesterday.
Manca ancora l'ufficialit ma Zlatan Ibrahimovic è il quarto grande colpo del Psg, capeggiato
dallo sceicco Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. Dopo gli arrivi di Lavezzi, Thiago Silva e Verratti, il club
transalpino, non ancora sazio, cala il poker e si aggiudica le prestazioni del fuoriclasse svedese,
gi a Parigi in questa mattinata di rituali visite mediche.
Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci escaped unharmed from an attempt to rob him at gunpoint by punching his attacker in the face. The Italy international was leaving a Ferrari dealership in Turin with his wife and baby when he was approached. A man held a gun against his head and demanded Bonucci hand over his expensive watch.

Italian teams wearing the jailhouse black and whites just cannot win these days. (Unless you
count Juventus' scudetto of last season. That's a win of sorts.)
The Calcioscommesse verdicts have been thrown down, with Juve coach Antonio Conte acquiring a
ten month ban for his part in no reporting match fixing while he was with Siena, another team which
happily sports the stripes.

28.08.2012 - La revalorización del Brasileirao le cayó bien a Ronaldinho (R49),
ahora diamante del Atlético Mineiro puntero y ganador de la primera rueda del campeonato.
La performance del Mineiro en la primera rueda (13G 3E 1P) ya constituye récord de puntuación

Tigres no se encuentra en su mejor nivel, ha batallado en las últimas jornadas para conseguir
los resultados que, de hecho, no son los esperados y mucho menos los deseados.
No obstante de estar estancados entre el jugar bien y el solo jugar, el tiempo no perdona y
ésta jornada 6, el destino le puso la prueba más difícil hasta el momento, enfrentarse a
Toluca que además de estar en el liderato general tras ganar los 5 encuentros disputados, tiene 7
años sin perder en el Estadio Universitario.
So after days of intense talks, Sao Paulo's Lucas Moura spotted looking bored
out of his mind at Salvador's Carnaval in February this year is joining the magnifiqueParis-Saint Germain project! Indeed, Leonardo's true purpose at the club has
finally been revealed.
You're here, Paris. This is Zlatan. I...am Zlatan. Your city has finally accomplished something
culturally and artistically important. You can thank me later. Right after you thank me now.
I'm pleased you built this large tower behind me in my honor. It's only slightly smaller than
me, but I still deem it worthy of being called the Ibraffil Tower.
Days after adding centerback Thiago Silva, the club has finalized the purchase of mercurial
striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the Rossoneri, according to Italian publication Gazzetta Dello
Sport.
Current PSG sporting director and former AC Milan player and coach Leonardo told the outlet that
the signing, which has been in the works for the last week, is complete.
David Beckham and PSG Sporting Director, Leonardo, shared a special moment on the stands of the Mestalla yesterday. By that, we mean the both of them stood up and reacted like front row-worthy fangirls of One Direction after PSG failed to capitalise on their chances. That's the spirit we need in football, guys!
Después de varios meses sin actividad, la selección mayor femenil volvió a concentración. El siguiente objetivo es el Torneo Internacional de Sao Paulo, misma que se jugará del 9 al 18 de diciembre, copa en la que el tri femenil ya ha participado con anterioridad.

Buenas noticias para los seguidores del futbol femenil en nuestra ciudad y en especial de la
UANL. El equipo de Tigrillas formará parte de la nueva Liga Mayor Femenil en nuestro país, la
cual ahora esta dividida en cuatro zonas: norte, occidente, sur y centro.
Este es un proyecto que desde hace ya tiempo se venía esperando y ojalá ahora pueda
consolidarse.
A 13 días de que México se vea las caras ante las anfitrionas japonesas en el partido
