    GET FRENCH FOOTBALL NEWS 2020/2021 Ligue 1 Preview Guide Rarely has French football been simultaneously seemingly on the verge of a breakthrough moment in Europe, with the Champions’ League achievements of Lyon and Paris Saint-Ger- main not yet brought to their conclusion as I write this, or so seemingly vulnerable. For all of the achievements that teams like Lille or Lyon have had in recent years, French clubs still re- main prey for those with deeper pockets, and success only makes their most talented players that much more attractive - the unsettled nature of things at both the Stade Pierre Mauroy and Groupama Stadium are testament to that. Still, though, there is much to celebrate as a new season of Ligue 1 dawns - yes, Paris Saint-Ger- main look likely to stroll to the title again, but Marseille and their boisterous supporters will relish being back in Europe’s elite competition after finishing second. There is joy, too, at Rennes, where the Breton side have continued their steady improvement under Julien Stéphan and been rewarded with a place in the Champions’ League. For all of their acheivements last campaign, though, both of those teams may struggle, as Lille did last season, to negotiate playing in Eu- rope. Both have made important additons this summer, though, in the form of the influential Álva- ro González making his loan move permanent for Marseille and Rennes making a canny move in plucking Martin Terrier from Lyon to bolster their attack. Among their competitors, however, Lille have been the big spenders, splashing out €30m on the Canadian attacker Jonathan Da- vid, his success in the Belgian league hopefully boding well for him as he hopes to succeed the departed Victor Osimhen.

Copa America 2021 has seen a late switch in hosts from Argentina to Brazil amid concerns of growing COVID-19 cases in the former, and four venues have been revealed to play last minute hosts for this competition. Argentina will be ruing that missed opportunity as they’ve reached the final on seven of the nine previous occasions that they’ve hosted, though they have a strong squad again here and it’s no doubt that they’re up there as one of the favourites this time around. Group A Argentina are still looking to go level on Copa America wins with Uruguay, though their last triumph was all the way back in 1993, and they’ve now reached four of the last six finals and lost on all four occasions. You get the impression this may be Lionel Messi’s last chance at glory in this competition having fallen agonisingly short on too many occasions, and they should be confident in this group, and there’s next to no doubt that they’ll be appearing in the latter stages. Only Robert Lewandowski scored more goals in the 2020/21 season than Lionel Messi, which proves that there are few signs of him slowing down and if he’s on song, he could single-handedly guide his country to glory here.

  • A Prodigal Son Will Reach the Promised Land
    A prodigal son will reach the promised land Lionel Messi and Neymar have won numerous individual and club honours, some together as Barcelona teammates. Yet they can cut curiously unfullled gures in their country’s colours. Even Olympic gold medals do not alter the impression that, in terms of silverware, each is an international underachiever. Which is why tonight’s Copa America title decider takes on such huge proportions. After four defeats in various nals with Argentina, six-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi is chasing that elusive win. Brazil’s 2019 Copa win came without Neymar. Now, he has a chance to lead them to glory.
