MESSI HOLD HIS FIRST PRESS CONFERENCE ATOSG

Nasser Al Khelaifi is alongside Lionel Messi at his PSG introduction . Not only is Al Khelaifi PSG president but he's chair of the European Club Association, UEFA executive committee member & beIN chief (one of UEFA's main TV rights holders) with a main role in future of FFP.

Al Khelaifi thanks "our commercial partners who believe in our project from day one." Among sponsors of the club ultimately owned by Qatar's emir, there's a theme: Visit Qatar, Ooredoo, Qatar National Bank, Qatar Airways, Aspetar, beIN. Shirt sponsor Accor part owned by Qatar too

What's undoubted is that while Messi's signing is valuable to Qatar, his arrival in France will enhance the status of Ligue 1 which has messed up the sale of TV rights recently and does little to market the competition widely globally. It's heavily reliant on PSG for appeal.

"What you as a media need to focus is not only the negative side but the positive side he will bring to the club ... Through it all we look at Financial Fair Play & always we will fulfil Financial Fair Play regulations"  Unclear what FFP is currently

Lionel Messi will wear the number 30 shirt for PSG next season.

Messi on playing with Neymar again: "We've got the same goals, when we were not together, we had the same goal and now we are together with Neymar and the rest of the team, I hope we can make it. "Neymar did a lot and was important in my decision."
