Abid of a pickle
A quick dispatch from the front line of menacing sexual energy, Paris, where detectives are still hunting the architect of the violent attack on PSG midfielder Kheira Hamraoui.
Last week we revealed the wife of former Barcelona defender Eric Abidal was a suspect, after police heard rumours Eric and Hamraoui were having an affair.
Now Abidal’s wife has filed for divorce, and the former France defender has begged for her forgiveness on Instagram, writing: “I deserve this humiliation even though it kills me alive. Thank God. God willing one day you will forgive me. #loveyoutothemoonandback.”
Not sure that’s going to get him very far, but we enjoyed the Clinton Cards hashtag.
Meanwhile, a court found Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema guilty of blackmailing former France teammate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.
They handed him a suspended 12 month prison sentence and a £100k fine. Disappointing – we were hoping for some sordid escapades behind bars.
