Lionel Messi and Neymar booed by PSG fans vs Bordeaux

Lionel Messi and Neymar were booed by Paris Saint-Germain fans during Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash against Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes.

PSG’s supporters expressed their anger with the two superstars following Wednesday night’s capitulation against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe, however, was cheered by PSG’s supporters when his name was read out before kick-off.

PSG were on course to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals when Mbappe put the French side 2-0 up on aggregate towards the end of the first half at the Bernabeu.

However, a 17-minute hat-trick from Karim Benzema in the second half turned the game on its head and sent the Spanish giants through to the quarters at PSG’s expense.

It’s a result that threatens to have ramifications on various members of the PSG squad and Mauricio Pochettino, who is not expected to be the club’s manager at the start of next season.

When the teams were announced for the league clash against Bordeaux, PSG fans booed Messi and Neymar’s names but cheered Mbappe’s.

And there were loud boos for the two South American stars every time they touched the ball during the early stages of the first half.
