JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach, Mauricio Pochettino, said he was sad to hear the club's supporters mock Neymar and Lionel Messi.
The Argentine and Brazilian superstar was the target of the home fans' irritation throughout the Ligue 1 clash against Bordeaux, which ended 3-0 on Monday. The match was only three days after Les Parisiens lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Supporters rate, Messi and Neymar failed to bring change at PSG, especially in the Champions League competition.
