Frank Leboeuf explains why PSG need to do everything they can to keep Kylian Mbappe around and why they’d be better off letting Neymar go.

After Brazil’s draw against Panama, ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno and Gab Marcotti delve into where the weaknesses lie for the 5-time world champions.
Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has said he admires Eden Hazard and would like to play with the Chelsea forward some day.
Neymar has shared the pitch with some of the world’s top players in his career — a list that includes Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Kylian Mbappe.
However, when speaking to Fox Sports Brazil on Friday, the Brazil international who, like Hazard has been constantly linked to Real Madrid, said the Belgium international is another he’s hoping to pair with in the future.

ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno is incredulous as to why Man United midfielder Paul Pogba was voted into the PFA Team of the Year.

The ESPN FC panel predict who will finish 4th in the Premier League, with no one believing Manchester United can get it done.

Craig Burley and Frank Leboeuf feel both Eden Hazard and Chelsea would benefit from Hazard moving to Real Madrid.

Chelsea had a chance to climb to third in the Premier League against Burnley, but the Blues squandered the lead in a 2-2 draw with the Clarets.

LONDON — Chelsea’s struggles in the Premier League cost Eden Hazard a place in the PFA Team of the Year, according to head coach Maurizio Sarri.
Despite enjoying his best Chelsea season with 16 goals and 13 assists and being directly involved in more goals than any other player in the Premier League, Hazard was overlooked with Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling and Liverpool’s Sadio Mane taking the wing spots in the PFA Team of the Year.

LONDON — Chelsea missed a huge opportunity to capitalise on the mistakes of their top-four rivals, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by a stubborn Burnley side at Stamford Bridge, despite another impressive display by Eden Hazard.
Positives
There were times this season when Chelsea might have lost a game like this. As things were, they were a little unlucky not to win it, stifled both by Burnley’s deep defending and commitment to time-wasting. Hazard also enjoyed a good game and Gonzalo Higuain…

ESPN FC’s Craig Burley shares his thoughts on where Virgil van Dijk ranks among the Premier League’s best players this campaign.
Manchester City and Liverpool dominate the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year award with Raheem Sterling and Virgil van Dijk among those shortlisted.
Sergio Aguero, Sadio Mane, Bernardo Silva and Eden Hazard join Sterling and Van Dijk on the six-man list, with last year’s winner Mohamed Salah failing to make the cut. There is also no place for Kevin De Bruyne, who lost out to Salah last term.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah scored in Liverpool’s dominant victory over Chelsea, moving the Reds back ahead of Manchester City.

Mohamed Salah scored one of the goals of the season as Liverpool moved back to the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Chelsea at Anfield, damaging Maurizio Sarri’s hopes of delivering a top-four finish in the process.

Positives

Chelsea picked a sensible game plan to compete at Anfield and broadly executed it well — if only in the defensive sense — until Sadio Mane scored early in the second half. They also carved Liverpool open several times once they fell 2-0 behind and Eden Hazard…
