Lionel Messi suffered a bad welcoming by PSG fans.

Paris Saint-Germain is not up for parties or jokes, as they have just suffered their seventh defeat so far in 2023 and that is barely March. Lionel Messi's future is up in the air, and apparently, Christopher Galtier's too, after the failure in the UEFA Champions League.

The captain of the Argentine team lived an atypical moment in the PSG stadium. When his name was heard, the ultras decided to boo him and the action went around the world. However, during the development of the match, the most radical fans lowered the intensity and did not harass the world champion, who took a radical stance after the Parisian defeat.

It turns out that after the final whistle, Lionel Messi exchanged shirts with a Rennes player and immediately retired to the local locker room. The fact caused the discomfort of the fans on social networks, who compared his attitude with what was done by Kylian Mbappé, who stayed on the playing field apologizing to the ultras. Thus, a new controversy created by the fans is added.

Neither the bad result nor the boos would change Lionel Messi's opinion:

Despite the hostile treatment of the fans and the new setback in the season, Lionel Messi is focused on continuing at PSG, as stated by the journalist Fabrizio Romano. However, the Argentine first wants to hear what the new sports project will be like for the following season, since his goal is to win a Champions League before leaving European football in 2024.
