David Beckham’s emotional exit

David Beckham broke down while being substituted in PSG’s 3-1 win over Brest on Saturday.

The 38-year-old left the pitch, in tears, for likely the final time in his career, as it has been suggested that he will not play in PSG’s final match of the season, away at Lorient.

Those tears quickly turned into cheers, though, as his teammates joyously tossed Becks up into the air. It’s a good thing they didn’t drop him — they were not messing around on that last throw.

Style has never been a problem for David Beckham.

On the eve of his final home match as a professional soccer player, Beckham announced he will be lacing up these custom boots for Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Brestois. He has partnered up with adidas to create these and it’s clear that they are carrying some signature Beckham style.

Beckham announced his decision on Facebook stating:

“I wanted to show the passion I had playing for my country and the pride that gave me during my career. You also see the names of Victoria and the kids which have always been there on my boots.”

Eiffel Tower lit up in PSG colors

Paris Saint-Germain won their first league title in 19 years on Sunday, and all of Paris will be partying tonight.

Even the Eiffel Tower decided to get in on the celebrations, as it lit up with the colors of PSG after the championship-clinching win over Lyon. Hopefully the monument will stay away from the champagne, though. It sways enough already — over-the-top partying could mean a little too much wobbling.

MC Hammer once sang the immortal line “U Can’t Touch This,” and the same applies to referees’ nipples.

PSG defender Thiago Silva touches the shirt of Alexandre Castro ever so slightly, and is shown a straight red card for the vicious attack during the 1-1 draw against Valenciennes. We know refs often get a raw deal, but maybe a bit of common sense wouldn’t be such a bad thing occasionally?
