PSG Deny Link To Rooney


Wayne Rooney: Linked with summer PSG move



Paris St Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has admitted his admiration for Wayne Rooney, but the French club have not made an approach for the Manchester United striker. 

Rooney's absence from the United side for last month's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid sparked suggestions the England international could leave Old Trafford in the summer

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson quickly poured cold water on the prospect but it did not stop rumours of Rooney's departure, with PSG one of the few clubs who could match his ambitions and wages.
"He is a great player, he is one of the best strikers in the world," Al-Khelaifi told Sky Sports News.

"I think everybody would like to have him but, if you want to talk about the fact, we didn't approach him."

Messi and Mascherano Hit with Injuries


Lionel Messi: Limped off after scoring against Bayern

Barcelona were left sweating on the fitness of Lionel Messi while Javier Mascherano was ruled out for six weeks after the Argentina duo were forced off with injuries during Tuesday night's Champions League draw with Paris St Germain. 

Messi was replaced at half-time at the Parc des Princes after holding his right hamstring and he will undergo further tests tomorrow to determine the extent of the problem, Barca announced on their website.
The Catalan giants will be hoping it is nothing serious with the quarter-final second leg against PSG coming next week.
The 25-year-old, who at the weekend
became the first player to score against every other side in the Spanish top flight in successive matches after netting for the 19th consecutive league game, had put Barca ahead against PSG on Tuesday night in the 38th minute before the French outfit battled back for a 2-2 draw.
