Former France coach Raymond Domenech said he was not surprised at how PSG fans have been treating Lionel Messi lately.
In early May, without the permission of the PSG management, Messi went to Saudi Arabia. The French club suspended the player from training. In the first match after returning to the team, the Argentine striker was booed by the fans of the Parisians.
– Messi failed, or he did not want to find any contact with the public. At the end of the match, he immediately leaves, and does not go to the fans. He has no greetings in their direction. He didn’t connect with the audience. These moments can be explained by this hostility, — quotes the words of Domenech L’Equipe.
Messi has made 37 appearances for PSG this season, scoring 20 goals and making 19 assists. His current contract expires this summer.
