As Messi heads back to Argentina for a pair of celebratory friendly games, with a football-crazy nation saluting their World Cup heroes. It will mark a sharp contrast to the high reputation which he held in Paris.
Before kickoff, captain Mbappe was cheered on while there were some boos for Messi. They only became more voluble as he had the temerity to not turn around a shambolic collective display with his every action.
The reason why Messi was booed could be related to PSG’s Champions League exit against Bayern Munich. Although he was not directly responsible for the loss, Messi was supposed to be the guy who stopped all this embarrassment.
Asides from that, Messo also hasn’t signed a contract extension yet. With his contract ending at the end of the season and rumors of a return to Barcelona not going away. Considering this sample of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s Parisian experience, you have to wonder why on earth he’d bother signing any extension.
