Alex Pato: more muscle injuries than Inter have had 2011-12 wins

Suddenly selfless Leonardo deserves derision for Tevez stance

Involvement with Carlos Tevez has a tendency to bring out the worst in football folk, and even the usually likable Leonardo appears to have fallen into that trap judging by the latest developments at Paris St-Germain.

In response to rumours linking the cashed-up French club with a move for the AC Milan target, their director [...]
