Neymar, Messi jeered by seething PSG fans in 3-0 home win
Paris: Neymar and Lionel Messi felt the heat from Paris Saint-Germain’s angry fans following another Champions League humiliation, getting whistled every time they touched the ball during a 3-0 home win against Bordeaux today. Even when Neymar scored the second goal against rock-bottom Bordeaux the fans jeered him. Even when Messi embarked on a trademark run from deep and hit the post he got booed. While the runaway leaders moved 15 points clear in a league they usually dominate, the fans want success elsewhere. Yet PSG blew it again in the Champions League this week against Real Madrid. A few weeks ago they also got knocked out of the French Cup and coach Mauricio Pochettino is widely expected to be replaced next season. At which point Kylian Mbappe might be playing for Real Madrid. His contract runs out in June and he can leave on a free transfer. PSG’s top scorer was the only player spared the whistles when the team names were read out. AP
