Made sense fron Barca's perspective. Tebas was the only one who wanted to drag this out, and it wasn't even any of his business. Imagine we'd still be in this saga and Barca is unable to plan for replacements as long as it isn't settled.

Tebas could never have dragged it out as the power always lay with Barca to accept 220 if they wanted to.

Barcelona evaded taxes, fought off clubs, hid funds, changed presidents and sat out two transfer windows in order to sign Neymar. They salted the earth for future Santos negotiations, purchased illicit favors for his father and broke international law just for Neymar.


In the Rosell/Bartomeu administration, the club built itself under Qatar Airways/Qatar Foundation, and the board's crown jewel was Neymar. Bartomeu and Rosell abandoned Unicef for crooked Qatari organizations, only for Qatari money to lure Neymar away to PSG 4 years later.


Neymar Sr came from a favela. Neymar's parents couldn't afford an ultrasound and often couldn't pay the electricity bill for the month. Neymar Sr worked three jobs simultaneously, and assured his son worked hard in football and never lost focus. Neymar Sr is seen as a villain and a criminal from Barcelona's lense, but from another perspective, he is the epitome of the American Dream. He worked hard to make sure his son didn't have the same childhood he had. He worked to make sure Neymar didn't have the career he had. Neymar was the next Robinho by 11, gaining YouTube attention from across the world. Time Magazine called him "The Next Péle" at 21. Of course Neymar and his father chose the money and the tax scandal-free lifestyle in Paris. That's a product of the environment. There's a million kids in Brazil who could one day become "the Next Péle." Neymar became that one in a million kid, and will reap rewards. Neymar must avoid falling into the same traps Ronaldinho, Adriano, Robinho & so many more before him fell into. Stay humble and self-aware.


Neither Neymar nor his father fell off the trail.


No, the one who forgot their morals and threw away the blueprint, is FC Barcelona.


For too long, has this Barcelona board ignored promising La Masia talent, chosen poor managers, and wasted money on lost causes. Barcelona broke the law for 4 seasons of Neymar gradually finding his feet in Europe. Now, he'll spend the prime of his career in PSG. The board's crown jewel has left for money, and an insurmountable gap has grown between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Back to zero. Barça have 25 days to spend 220m, with other clubs guarding their stars and knowing they can overcharge Barcelona. PSG are smart. They know their intentions, they'd rather pay 70m in taxes--because it's the law--than include Marco Verratti in the deal.


Barcelona thought they could pillow-talk their way into signing Verratti.


Like an abrupt WWE plot twist, PSG flipped the script on them.


PSG triggered Neymar's clause, offered him a too-good-to-be-true salary, and sent Barça's summer into smithereens. Now, Barcelona are so focused on tattling on PSG and spending the Neymar money that they might ignore Valverde's transfer desires.


The Great Gatsby, the foremost piece of literature on the American Dream, starts with a life lesson. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in his world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

this would have an ounce of credibility if you weren't bent on twisting the facts to paint the picture of a barca in downfall.

1) if you've even remotely followed neymar, we might have seen his prime in 2015. compare his production in 2015 to what he has been offering for 2016 and 2017, you will see the difference. primes aren't solely function of age, they are a function of age, motivation, and discipline. he looks unlikely to have discipline at PSG and his motivation has always been questionable compared to his talent (missing key liga games for his sisters' birthday parties).

2) the transfer ban had no relation to neymar.

3) you don't know the finances of the neymar deal, even UEFA doesn't at this point. I would suggest caution before hailing PSG's end of the transactions as lawful.

4) Barca merely had a sponsorship with QA, which is now defunct. PSG is backed by the qatari state itself, and allegedly the state paid 100m of neymar's clause. In a post berating barca for stooping from their moral ground, a much more serious violation of morals and ethics is undercut. why? simply because your agenda is to criticize solely barca.

5) Insurmountable gap has grown been madrid and barca. please. football works in cycles, they had their 12 year drought not too long ago, and we are just coming off of our golden generation so there is expected to be a shift in power. the only big team to have completely fallen off the map is liverpool so i can imagine why you'd want to think the same will happen with barca.

you're free to criticize the board and barca's handling of football matters. I think they are corrupt and should be replaced. but you should stay on the facts.

So that's with this board that he has problems with, and not the club?

If true, hope Bartomeu is fired soon.
Well Nassar may be a Barca fan but he's also looking out for his best interests for PSG as they want the team to be a legit CL contender and don't want to lose their best players.

Eiffel Tower evacuated after knife-wielding man in Paris Saint-Germain shirt 'shouts Allahu Akbar' before trying to force way past security

The Eiffel Tower was evacuated last night after a knife-wielding man wearing a Paris Saint-Germain shirt reportedly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before trying to force his way past security.

Police arrested the would-be-intruder at around 11.30pm, just half an hour before the tower stops admitting visitors.

Radio broadcaster France Info reported that the man pulled out a knife and shouted 'Allahu Akbar' in front of soldiers.

The man, who is reported to be a Frenchman born in the West African state of Mauritania, is believed to have been discharged from a psychiatric hospital in July.

A witness at the scene claimed that "people were running and police were screaming".

The man reportedly acted alone and is said to now be in police custody.

The company that manages the Paris landmark said in a statement Sunday that no one was hurt in the incident.

The tower was lit up with the team colours of PSG to welcome the arrival of Neymar.

France has been under a state of emergency since the November 2015 terrorist attacks on Paris restaurants, a concert venue and a stadium that left 130 people dead.

I just hope that fucker isn't ever let back free on french soil. Send him back to Mauritania if they would have him, otherwise jail him for life. Also think the death penalty is warranted for failed terrorist attacks. Makes no sense to me that the taxpayer would pay millions over decades to have this guy radicalize others while in jail.
