After the Champions League was eliminated by Real Madrid, the parisians were greatly affected emotionally. In particular, Messi and Neymar, as the two highest paid stars in the team, their sluggish performances in the two-legged knockout rounds have made the fans of Greater Paris feel quite dissatisfied.
In this round of Ligue 1, The Greater Paris hosts Bordeaux, who are in last place. When the starting list was announced at the beginning of the game, every player in Greater Paris was booed by the fans, and when it was Messi and Neymar's turn, there were boos. It was only when Mbappe's name was read that the fans applauded. Kylian Kylian Mbappe, who has scored two goals in two Rounds of the Champions League, is respected for his performances, and coupled with the recent deep rumors of transfer, the Greater Paris fans hope to keep him in this way.
This made Messi and Neymar even more embarrassed, as long as the two took the ball during the game, they would cause boos, even if Neymar scored the second goal, helping the home team to build a merit can not be exchanged for a little applause. Neymar, who scored the goal, did not celebrate, and his expression was very solemn. After the game, the whole audience broke out again, and in such an atmosphere, the parisians were all expressionless and disheartened.
It was indeed a difficult night for Messi. Since returning from the Bernabeu, Argentines have been in the midst of controversy. The biggest criticism of Messi is that he has neither scored nor assisted in the two-legged match against Real Madrid, and Neymar has two assists. At the same time, in the first leg, Messi missed a penalty, and the responsibility for the final elimination was inevitable.
According to Barca and team reporter Romero, Messi's father contacted the Barca executives after being eliminated by Real Madrid in Paris to discuss the possibility of Messi's return. Another journalist, Matteo Moretto, said Messi was not happy in Paris. Before leaving the Champions League, he confirmed that he would stay in Paris. Now let's see if things will change, Messi dreams of returning to Barca.
Messi has just joined Paris for half a season, and in the face of the Champions League defeat, he only wants to flee, and he does not want to turn the tide here. If you want to return to your comfort zone as soon as you encounter problems, it will be difficult for Messi to bounce back even if he returns to Barca. And now Barça has slowly entered the right track, gradually getting rid of its dependence on Messi. Even if the Argentine wants to return to the team, I am afraid it will not be as a player.
