Every September the same argument arrives on schedule, and every September a large number of people take part in it without ever being told how the thing actually works. This is the Ballon d’Or explained properly: what the award is, who hands it out, how the shortlist is assembled, who fills in the ballot papers, […]
Ask a casual observer who runs Paris Saint-Germain and you will get one of two answers: Luis Enrique, or Qatar. Neither is quite right. The man who has held the club’s steering wheel for a decade and a half is Nasser Al-Khelaifi — a former professional tennis player from Doha who is now one of […]
Misano MotoGP practice ended with Marco Bezzecchi on top, the Aprilia rider edging Marc Marquez by 0.103s on Friday afternoon at round 14 of 22, the San Marino Grand Prix. Bezzecchi saved his best for the final minute of the hour-long session, a 1m30.144s dropping as the clock ticked to zero and leaving the Ducati […]
Follow French football in English for long enough and you will run into four letters that never get explained: the DNCG. A Ligue 1 club is blocked from signing anyone. Another is told it must cut its wage bill. A third is threatened with demotion despite finishing comfortably clear of the drop. In every case […]
The French transfer window shut on 1 September 2026, and for most of Europe that is the end of the argument until January. France is different. A joker transfer is the mechanism that can crack the market open again after the deadline has passed — and two Ligue 1 clubs are trying to use it […]
Almost every big club has a home shirt. Paris Saint-Germain have something rarer — a home shirt with a designer’s name attached to it. The PSG Hechter shirt is the blue jersey with the broad red band running straight down the middle of the chest, edged in white on either side, and it has been […]
Paris Saint-Germain will be without one of the most important figures in the building on Saturday, and it has nothing to do with the team sheet. Sporting director Luis Campos has been handed a one-match stadium ban after a touchline incident during the 2-2 draw away at Lille, and he will serve it when Paris […]
The PSG academy is the part of Paris Saint-Germain that the club’s critics never quite account for. The story told from outside is simple enough — Paris buy everything, Paris develop nothing — and for a long stretch of the club’s modern history there was enough truth in it to sting. It is not the […]
Paris Saint-Germain lifted the UEFA Super Cup in August 2026, and the trophy has been namechecked in Parisian conversation ever since — usually without anybody stopping to explain what it actually is. It is not a friendly, it is not a pre-season warm-up, and it is not handed out for finishing high in a domestic […]
Brest vs PSG is the fixture Paris Saint-Germain have been waiting for. Three rounds into Ligue 1 and the back-to-back European champions still have not won a league game, and Round 4 sends them west to Brittany to try to fix it. Two draws and a defeat is not the start anybody in the capital […]
If you read anything about Paris Saint-Germain’s season, you will run into the phrase within about two paragraphs. The Trophée des Champions was lost 1-0 to Lens, and it now sits in every summary of a difficult opening to 2026/27, alongside the Super Cup win over Aston Villa and a winless Ligue 1 start. What […]
The PSG Intercontinental Cup final on 16 December 2026 is the strangest fixture in Paris Saint-Germain’s season. It is a one-off. It is a trophy match. It sits in the middle of a Champions League defence and a Ligue 1 campaign that badly needs fixing, and a lot of supporters still are not entirely sure […]
