The Sad Story Behind PSG Fans' Mockery Of Lionel Messi: Antonela Roccuzzo Holds Back Tears For Her Husband
JAKARTA - There has been an unfortunate incident for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player, Lionel Messi, recently. He was booed by his own club's fans during PSG's 3-0 win over Girondins Bordeaux, last weekend.
Messi got cheers from PSG fans in the first half. Not only Messi, Neymar also gets the same treatment.
Sadly, Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, was present at the stadium during the match. She looks very disappointed because her husband is treated like that by his own fan club.
Reported by The Sun, Antonela seemed to hold back tears due to ridicule for her husband. In the photo taken by Getty Images photographer, his eyes were red, but he managed to stop the tears.
Messi and Neymar became targets for fans' disappointment after being judged to have performed poorly when PSG lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League last 16. As a result, the club nicknamed Les Parisiens stalled and had to bury their dream of becoming a champion for the umpteenth time.
Despite getting ridicule from fans, Messi looks normal. He did not look emotional when he left the field after the match against Bordeaux ended.
Messi's attitude was criticized by Paolo Di Canio, a former Lazio and West Ham United player. "Messi left the pitch scratching his head, he has no emotions. I prefer Cristiano Ronaldo," said Di Canio.
"I prefer humans with souls to aliens without emotions," he continued.
