Lionel Messi
who joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the summer, has become a target for fan discontent as the team’s poor form continues. PSG has been struggling to perform, with losses in crucial matches leading to their elimination from the Champions League and falling behind Lille in the Ligue 1 title race. Fans are now blaming Messi for the team’s struggles, saying that he has not lived up to expectations since joining PSG.
Messi was brought to PSG with the hope of forming a formidable attack with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. However, injuries and inconsistent performances have prevented the trio from playing together for an extended period. PSG’s coach, Mauricio Pochettino, has come under criticism for his team’s tactics and his handling of the star players.
The situation has led to unrest among PSG fans, who have voiced their displeasure with the team’s performances and called for changes. The club’s owners, Qatar Sports Investments, have invested heavily in PSG, and fans expect results that match their investments.
Messi’s situation is reminiscent of his time at Barcelona, where he faced criticism for the team’s failures despite his individual brilliance. It remains to be seen if PSG can turn their season around and meet the fans’ expectations.
