According to reports coming from the French capital, the PSG ultras are planning to whistle at Lionel Messi during their next game at the Parc des Princes. The PSG ultras are unhappy with the performance of the Argentinian forward, blaming him for their recent UEFA Champions League exit.
Mundo Deportivo claim to have been told by the leading members of PSG‘s ultra group ahead of a Ligue 1 home game against Rennes that they will whistle every touch of Lionel Messi.
“We will whistle at Messi this Sunday. He has too high a salary in relation to what he offers on the pitch.”
According to rumours, PSG’s fans hold Messi most responsible for their Champions League round of 16 loss to Bayern Munich since he was ineffective in both legs against the German giants. There aren’t likely to be many anti-Messi protests during the match against Rennes, and it’s unclear if there will be any during the announcement of the starting lineups, as the players enter the field, or during the actual game.
Lionel Messi made his move to the French capital in 2021 as a free agent, with a big motive to win the Champions League. However, he did not have a great first season for PSG, but was given the benefit of the doubt, as he had to adapt to a new team and a new league. However, even after winning the World Cup, the Argentinian forward was unable to make a big contribution in the Champions League.
