Ultras anticipate hostile reception at Parc des Princes: "Messi, get ready"

The disappointment of being out of the Champions League has deeply affected PSG fans. The 'Orejona' was the big goal of the Parisian team, and without it, they now face a long penance until the end of the season. Even though they have almost secured the Ligue 1 title, the most radical fans have not forgotten the harsh elimination against Bayern Munich and assure that there will be a hostile atmosphere in the next match, especially with Lionel Messi.

With Neymar out of the picture, the Argentine is an easy target, and on Sunday, March 19, when PSG hosts Rennes at the Parc des Princes for matchday 28 of the Ligue 1 in France, where they are currently leading with a 10-point advantage over Marseille in the title race, the Ultras are preparing to boo the Argentine '10'.

"Although the tension is not as high as last year, there are those who want to assign responsibility and find culprits for the defeat against Bayern: 'We will boo Messi this Sunday'," published in the Mundo Deportivo newspaper.

In mid-March, the Argentine footballer still has not renewed his contract, and his situation is controversial. The club wants to sign him for another year, although a sector of the fans opposes the idea: "He has a salary that is too high in relation to what he offers on the field," observe some members of the Collectif Ultras Paris.

Note that if Leo receives the repudiation of PSG's own fans this Sunday, it will not be the first time it happens. After the elimination from the 2021-2022 Champions League, also in the round of 16 and at the hands of Real Madrid, the stands of the Parc des Princes expressed their feelings towards the Argentine, Neymar, and Mauricio Pochettino.

Mbappé, the darling of the fans

While Messi and Neymar are now in the eye of the storm for the fans, on the other hand, Kylian Mbappé is untouchable and adored by the crowd. In a club with so many doubts, the only certainty is that the project revolves around the Frenchman.

However, people cannot hide their frustration, tired of being the laughingstock of Europe. Last year, after the debacle at the Bernabeu, the team was turned their backs on and the board was also targeted. Leonardo, initially, and Pochettino, shortly after, paid the consequences.
