“I read that Ronald Koeman

(Editor's note: Barça coach)

was a little offended that PSG was talking about Lionel Messi in Paris before this Champions League meeting, he explained.

He was still not embarrassed him, even after the end of the summer transfer window, to speak again of a coming of Memphis Depay to Barcelona, ​​while the market was closed.

It's called the watered sprinkler right?

Returning to the sporting level, Garcia first evokes the "fabulous" match against Granada (Editor's note: 5-3 victory after extra time in the Copa del Rey), thanks to Antoine Griezmann and Jordi Alba.

Then he noted "that indeed Barça is moving up the standings, which is still the least of things given the workforce they have.

But indeed, for PSG, this is not particularly good news.

But if we also look towards Paris, it's a time when they are in the process of recovering all their players.

This Tuesday, the Catalan press, for its part, continued its campaign of indignation at the treatment of the Messi file in France.

The daily Sport has thus taken over the front page of France Football where Messi appears in a photomontage wearing the PSG jersey.

Sport evokes "total harassment" and a provocation.

A few days ago, the daily spoke of destabilization by reacting to Leonardo's comments on the possible interest of the capital club to recruit Messi next season.

Many observers were not shy to refer to the Catalan followers the dozens of Unes devoted to a possible return of Neymar to Barça.

In Francia han recopilado 55 portadas de periódicos de Barcelona sobre Neymar y su imposible vuelta al Barça.
