The PSG coach's comment about Lionel Messi that angered the fans at PSG

Lionel Messi is going through difficult times in France. After the elimination of the Champions League, the possible departure of him from PSG sounds loud. Now, the ultras threatened to boo him at the next match of the Parisians in the Parc des Princes. In this context, Christophe Galtier, coach of the current Ligue 1 champion, came out in defense of his management, who ends his contract in mid-2023.

The portal 'Mundo Deportivo' revealed that the PSG ultras are organizing to give Lionel Messi a hard time, during the Parisian match against Rennes. The idea of the most radical fans is to screw up the current world champion, who is pointed out as one of those responsible for the elimination of the Champions League, after falling 3-0 on aggregate against the powerful German Bayern Munich.

The idea of the ultras is to carry out an act similar to the one that was already experienced in the previous campaign, when PSG was eliminated from international competition by Real Madrid. The fans, on that occasion, went against the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) and Neymar. From that moment on, the cordial relationship between the most extreme supporters of the French team and the captain of the Argentine team was broken.

What did Christophe Galtier say about the attitude that the fans will have against Messi?

At a press conference, the PSG coach, who has also been questioned about his performance, defended Lionel Messi from criticism. Galtier maintained: “There is no reason to whistle our players who have given their all in the Champions League. I repeat it, but Leo has 18 goals and 17 assists. They eliminated us because Bayern arrived much better than us".
