The whole football world has been asking the same thing.
What happened to Financial Fair Play?
UEFA’s rules and regulations on spending and finances were supposed to even the playing field and stop rich clubs widening the gaps between themselves and others through big-money signings time and time again.
But PSG’s activity this transfer window has led many to question whether any such regulations exist.
The Ligue 1 club splashed out £198million to meet Neymar’s buyout clause at Barcelona before securing Kylian Mbappe on loan ahead of the 18-year-old’s permanent £166m deal next summer.
Other clubs are becoming understandably annoyed with PSG waggling their financial might through wealthy owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
In fact, Lyon’s president Jean-Michel Aulas expressed his opinion on the matter publicly and in rather bizarre fashion.
There’s no other way to say this… he posted a video of a kangaroo fondling its balls.
He deleted the retweet, which was accompanied with the caption ‘Nasser and Financial Fair Play’, rather swiftly but not before fans had noticed.
If you want to watch the original then here you go but be warned, it is literally a masturbating kangaroo…
Reminder here than Lyon’s chairman is 68-years-old.
So yeah, that happened.
