Alfredo Relaño looks at the fallout from the revelation of the Messi’s contract with Barcelona, with many coming to the defence of the Argentinean.

Leo Messi's interview on Sunday answered many questions but not the most pressing one: will he stay at Barcelona or seek a new challenge at PSG or City?

Like Cristiano Ronaldo, the Barça star is also not getting any younger and advancing through his thirties. And his game needs to adapt as well...

Messi is starting to test the patience of many of his most loyal followers. Even the departure of Bartomeu, with whom he felt some resentment, hasn’t appeased him, notes Alfredo Relaño.

Thursday night is Europa League night, evenings packed with games from every corner of Europe.

AS columnist Alfredo Relaño gives his take on the resignation of Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu.

Real Madrid, fresh off a bad defeat in the Champions League, recorded a 3-1 triumph at the Camp Nou in the first Clásico of the season.

Barcelona president Bartomeu may have felt he had bought some peace and quiet after the recent contract extension that will see Piqué remain at the Catalan club through to the age of 37.
