Sometimes, you think you have a podcast planned and then something happens that changes everything. On this episode of The 1970, I'm joined by my co-host, Marc Damon, to discuss the latest Paris Saint-Germain transfer news, however, all of that got pushed to the side after Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed during a UEFA European Championship match against Finland due to an apparent heart attack. It was a scary scene that could have been even worse if not for the life-saving efforts from his teammates and doctors. We react to the decision to continue the match after Eriksen's collapse and the coverage of the incident in which broadcasters continued to show the Inter Milan player receive life-saving treatment on the pitch. Marc and I then attempt to transition to PSG and the transfer window that is now officially open. Earlier this week, the club officially signed Georginio Wijnaldum and we discuss what the former Liverpool FC midfielder will bring to Les Parisiens. Wijnaldum was heavily recruited by FC Barcelona and I ask Marc about his tweet in which he declared PSG as the alpha club. The signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma isn't official, but all reports indicate that it's just a matter of time until one of the best young goalkeepers in the world signs for PSG. What does his arrival mean for Keylor Navas and why would PSG make this move when other positions need to be addressed? We also discuss Kylian Mbappé's contract situation with Marc asking why the France international is holding PSG to such high standards when it comes to building a team around him while Real Madrid, for example, has been pretty stagnant in recent months. We conclude the show with a conversation about beIN Sports, who hold the U.S. rights to Ligue 1. They recently sold their rights to La Liga to ESPN, and we speculate what they might do with Ligue 1 ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Up first, we set our target on the Super League. Why have some of Europe's top clubs decided to break away from their domestic leagues and UEFA competitions? As of now, https://theathletic.com/news/european-super-league-bayern-munich-psg/21wNxzwjkLkd (PSG has decided to stick with the current system), but could they join the Super League eventually? What all goes into setting up a new league and who are the winners and losers? We try to cover every angle of this evolving story. Next, we touch on PSG's triumph over FC Bayern Munich in the Champions League. How did PSG get past the Bundesliga giants and what changes will Mauricio Pochettino make as he prepares his squad to face Manchester City in the semi-finals.

It's been a busy week for Paris Saint-Germain. They found out who they will play in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, they took on Olympique Lyonnais in a must-win Ligue 1 clash, and there's good news regarding Neymar Jr.! On the latest 1970 podcast, I'm joined by my co-host https://twitter.com/marcdamon9 (Marc Damon) and we discuss all of the latest news regarding PSG. It's the perfect companion to get you through the international lulz... Up first, Marc and I explain why we're optimistic about PSG's https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/0267-11d56c46c101-1236a041c9bb-1000--champions-league-quarter-final-draw/ (upcoming tie against Bayern Munich) in the Champions League. Les Parisiens may have lost to the Germans in the final last year, but a lot has changed since then and with a new manager at the helm, it's possible we see a different outcome. Next, we react to the news from journalist Fabrizio Romano who reported that Neymar's contract is all but done and he'll be tied to PSG until 2026. What does this mean for PSG and how does it impact Kylian Mbappé's decision to sign an extension or not? Later in the show, we try to read between the lines of Leandro Paredes's https://psgtalk.com/2021/03/paredes-reflects-on-where-it-went-wrong-for-psg-under-tuchel/ (recent comments) about the former PSG manager, Thomas Tuchel. What did the Argentina international mean when he said, "We all needed a mental change?" We also recap PSG's 4-2 win over Olympique Lyonnais that saw the capital club move to the top of the Ligue 1 table. Can they go on to win the league and how will important domestic matches like this prepare the squad for Bayern? To wrap up the podcast, we answer a few questions sent in by listeners, including how PSG can address their right-back issue this summer.
