JAKARTA - The supporters of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) still seem very disappointed with the failure of their team to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Two PSG players, Lionel Messi and Neymar, became the target of their disappointment.
This can be seen in the PSG match against Girodins Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1 continued, Sunday, March 13, evening. Lionel Messi and Neymar were booed by the Les Parisiens fans in the first half.
When Lionel Messi and Neymar held the ball, the crowd would cheer for the two former Barcelona players. In contrast to when Kylian Mbappe was dribbling the ball, the fans cheered.
Fan support for Mbappe intensified after the player scored in the 24th minute after completing Georginio Wijnaldum's pass.
"Lionel Messi was booed by some Paris Saint-Germain fans during today's match vs Bordeaux, still disappointed after the UCL failure. Just like Neymar," tweeted Italian football watcher Fabrizio Romano on his Twitter account.
"This type of situation is unreal for Leo, never experienced before," continued Romano.

The displeasure of PSG fans was allegedly because they were disappointed that Messi and Neymar were unable to do much when their team lost 1-3 to Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League last 16, mid-last week. As a result, Mauricio Pochettino's fleet had to be eliminated because they lost 2-3 on aggregate.
Neymar actually created an assist in that match. However, his contribution to the goals scored by Mbappe was considered by fans to be not enough.
In the PSG versus Bordeaux match, Neymar also scored in the 52nd minute after receiving Achraf Hakimi's pass. It could be, the former Santos player will get sympathy again from PSG fans.
However, what about Messi? The performance of the Argentinean against Bordeaux is back in the spotlight. French media, Get France Football, only gave a rating of 4 out of 10 despite being the brains of Mbappe's first goal.
Messi's performance with PSG is far from expectations. Messi's magical touch with Barcelona, unseen in Paris.
Messi has appeared 26 times with PSG and has only scored seven goals and 11 assists. Certainly an unsatisfactory record from a holder of seven Ballon d'Or titles.
