'Paris no longer responds,' the front page of L'Equipe read, perhaps insinuating manager Christophe Galtier could no longer garner a response from his team, who have burnt through managers of a far higher profile than he.
Western countries and United Nations experts have accused Wagner Group mercenaries of committing numerous human rights abuses throughout Africa, including in the Central African Republic, Libya and Mali.

Ligue 1 is by no means wrapped up, particularly with a home clash against second-placed Lens to come on April 15, though the apathy that has set in post-European exit begs the question: does anyone really care?
Mbappe, in the period before the World Cup, played 20, scoring 19 goals. Since, he has played 14, scoring 12 at a rate of a goal every 90 minutes. Certainly not to be sniffed at. The youngest of the three by some distance, it is little surprise his performance levels have remained of a passable standard.
The Argentine Messi has suffered a similar dip to Neymar. He was enjoying by far his best period in a PSG shirt prior to Qatar, scoring a goal every 138 minutes and grabbing a goal involvement (either a goal or assist) every 64 minutes. Since the World Cup, those minutes have grown exponentially to 210 and 140.
