It seems that it is no longer news that in the Parque de los Príncipes Messi is scorned for the team’s falls, because last Sunday a tense moment between the Parisian fans and Lionel was revived.
Some might think that the whistles to Messi could arise because the 10 led Argentina’s victory against France in the Qatar 2022 World Cup final, but the signs of discontent date from much further.
And it is that the first time that Messi was whistled by the Parque de los Príncipes has a record on March 13, 2022 against Bordeaux in Ligue 1, the first match of Paris Saint-Germain after being eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 against him Real Madrid.
On that occasion Neymar was also whistled. Who had a different scenario was Kylian Mbappé, who received applause for being responsible for scoring two goals for the meringues.
Messi was whistled for the second time on March 19 before the match against Rennes. That game was the first at home after PSG was again eliminated in the Champions League, this time against Bayern Munich with a 3-0 aggregate.
Finally, this April 2 minutes before the duel against Lyon, Messi again received whistles from the Parisian fans, most likely for disapproving of his performance in the clash against Rennes, where PSG fell 2-0.
Given that FC Barcelona fell 0-1 against Lyon on Sunday, it is likely that in the next game they will play at home on Saturday March 15 against Lens, the whistles at Messi will be repeated.
