Messi, PSG and football's power shift

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

As Argentina great Lionel Messi swaps Barcelona for Paris-Saint Germain, we explore the changing face of European football. With the Manchester clubs and Chelsea also flexing their financial muscles while others reel from the economic impact of Covid-19, we assess the long-term implications for the sport and its fans. We hear from Paris Saint-Germain’s Qatari president, the chief executive of the Premier League and a football finance expert from Deloitte’s Sports Business Group.
