PSG hierarchy that the squad isn't speaking French enough, with Spanish taking over as the dominant language.The Parisian giants boast one of the most multicultural sides in world football, and PSG have players in 11 different national sides.And as a result, Spanish is now the most popular language spoken in the dressing room at the Parc des Princes.Mauricio Pochettino, himself, barely uses French, and the gaffer opts to convey instructions to his team in Spanish or English.And in a report from Spanish-outlet Marca, there is growing concern about the lack of French from PSG's executives.PSG's dwindling French influence isn't just limited to the language, and the Parisian side currently has 13 French first-team players.While this is way more

Lionel Messi says he will move back to Barcelona once his spell at Paris Saint-Germain comes to an end.Messi has struggled to settle into his new surroundings in the French capital and has admitted he “misses everything” about his old life in Spain where he spent more than two decades.The Argentine international said he will move back to the Catalan capital after Paris with his three children, in a move which both he and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo desire.He has described his time living in a hotel in Paris as "bad" and although the family have now moved into a rented property, he is missing the daily routine which he became used to.In an interview with Catalan daily Sport which is bound to set alarm bells ringing at his new club, the

Lionel Messi has said that he was "hurt" by Barcelona president Joan Laporta's comments after his exit from the club and blasted that he "didn't deserve that".Messi was forced to leave Barca following the expiry of his contract at the end of last season as the club's financial issues prevented them from re-signing him.La Liga blocked their attempts to complete the signing of a new contract and would not allow Barca to register him as part of their squad for this season.However, in a recent interview with radio station RAC1, Laporta said he “hoped Messi would do a U-turn” and “play for free”.The PSG forward has now responded to those comments and revealed Laporta's words left him "hurt".Speaking to Sport, Messi said: “Nobody at FCB asked me

Barcelona are keen for club legend Xavi to become their manager after the sacking of Ronald Koeman on Wednesday, which will come as no surprise to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.Koeman was sacked after Barca slumped to their third defeat of the season at the hands of Rayo Vallecano.Despite a starting 11 that included the likes of Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay, the Catalan club couldn’t convert any of their chances and it was inevitable that as the final whistle blew, Koeman would be sacked.After the departures of Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann over the summer, a new manager will need to enter the Camp Nou and make an instant impact – and the club think that former midfielder Xavi will be the man for the job.The Spaniard is

Although the decision paid off as the home side went on to turn the game around with goals from Marquinhos and Angel di Maria, supporters were still unhappy on social media.

Premier League stars Nicolas Anelka and Djibril Cisse have disagreed over Lionel Messi's start at PSG.Messi moved to the French capital over the summer, when his contract at Barcelona came to end, and the Catalan side were unable to renew his deal.Both Anelka and Cisse have had spells at various Premier League clubs plus time in Ligue 1, but despite the pairs lengthy CVs, they have never shared a dressing room with one another.Anelka, who had two separate spells at PSG, has suggested that Messi hasn't been good enough, while Cisse believes he needs more time to adapt."Today we demand from Neymar, but we can do the same with Messi," Anelka told RMC as he defended Neymar before taking a swipe at Messi."Since the beginning of the season it is
