Lionel Messi received taunts from fans psg in the middle of a demonstration of the club’s ultras at the headquarters located in Paris to protest against what they consider a disappointing season in terms of sporting results and to ask for renewal in management but reiterating his anger towards some players, especially the Argentine star.
“Messi, son of a…”, sang the ultras, taking a stand on the controversy surrounding the Argentine footballer, sanctioned for two weeks and with the confirmation that he will not stay at the club next season.
“We are tired of mercenaries, we must fire Messi!”, they shouted coordinated through the megaphone of one of their leaders and waved on a banner that was displayed near the Parc des Princes, in the Boulogne-Billancourt area. “PSG, where are you, where are you going, can you hear me?” said the white sheet in black letters, dedicated to those who manage the day-to-day management of the institution financed with capital from Qatar.
But Messi is not the only one to receive reproaches from PSG fans: Neymar Jr. and Marco Verrati, coincidentally also foreigners, have appeared in the songbook of the ultras, who bet on the project led by Kylian Mbappé.
This resistance from the public towards Messi was already seen in the stands, when the team was eliminated first from the French Cup against Marseille and then from the Champions League against Bayern Munich, destroying the European goal for which it was set up.” . star” but have failed to reduce their talent on the pitch.
Booing Messi was the first expression of the PSG world against Leo, and this week everything was magnified when it was learned that the Argentinian would travel to Saudi Arabia without authorization from the club. As a matter of fact, they don’t want that anymore. And all less than two years after that unforgettable postcard of the footballer walking around the French capital.
The ultras, against Messi, ask for changes from PSG
Around 300 fans called for the resignation of PSG’s management, led by its chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, in a protest staged outside the club’s headquarters on Wednesday.
The supporters had been summoned by the CUP supporters, who maintain a lot of resistance with much of the squad, including Messi, who has just been severely sanctioned by PSG for traveling to Saudi Arabia for an advertising engagement, for which, according to the club, he will not he had permission to do so.
The fans’ goal was to demonstrate that “things have to change” in a “structured and intelligent” way. It is not the first time that the CUP has asked for the head of the Qatari leadership. Last year he also sued him in the middle of the Parque de los Príncipes stadium.
Fan frustration with the club’s stars, with Messi and Neymar at the helm, has long been palpable, especially after their Champions League eliminations, both in the round of 16.
It wasn’t even enough to have what is considered the best footballer of the 21st century ahead with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar to lift a trophy, which is the real goal of the PSG management.
