Messi booed by fans before game; PSG no longer confirming Messi's contract extension

In the 28th round of Ligue 1 this season , Paris Saint-Germain lost to Rennes 0-2 at home . Paris defender Vitignia expressed his views on the game after the game.


Vitignia said they played a bad game, which is nothing to say. He apologized to those fans who have been sticking around. They failed to show who they really are, and they didn't play the role of the team as a whole. They were sad and did not expect such a result. Neither the football team, the coaching staff nor the fans should face such a result. The international break can make them think about themselves and see where they need to do better because they are not playing well enough and need to play better in the next game.

Messi booed by fans before game; PSG no longer confirming Messi's contract extension

Before the start of the game, when the starting lineup was broadcast, the Parisian fans booed Messi when his name was called out, and Messi was the only Parisian player to be booed. Messi exchanged jerseys with his opponents after the game, and instead of saying goodbye with his teammates, he went straight back to the locker room.


According to statistics, this is the first league loss Messi has encountered at home since he joined Paris. So far, Messi has represented Paris in Ligue 1 and won 27 games at home with 21 wins , 5 draws and 1 loss.

According to "L'Equipe", Paris is no longer sure whether to renew Messi, and the fan group has different opinions on whether to renew the player.


Messi's contract with PSG expires this summer and the option for a one-year extension can only be activated if both parties agree. Paris wanted to renew the contract before, and the two sides reached an agreement in principle during the World Cup, but the premise is that the salary is agreed.


According to L'Equipe, Messi has attracted the attention of several clubs. The recent change in Paris's views is due to the club's changes in sports policy and the fact that the fan base did not reach an agreement on Messi's contract extension.


Barcelona defender Roberto expressed the hope that Messi will go back, they are waiting for him, Messi should not be treated like that in Paris.
