PSG supporters are putting pressure on Messi.
With the team's elimination from the Champions League this year, Paris St. Germain supporters have continued to jeer Lionel Messi.
As a result of Lyon defeating PSG 1-0 at home on Sunday, PSG's chances of winning the Ligue 1 Championship are also decreasing.
Without Messi scoring, PSG lost at home for the second straight game, and the Argentine captain had no part in the outcome.
PSG is aiming for its eleventh Ligue 1 title and ninth in the twelve seasons since Qatari owners acquired the team.
There are nine games left before the season is over, and the points differential between them and the team Lens and Marseille are now leading by has shrunk to six.
The next game PSG will play is at home against Nice, a team that has not lost since January 2023, and this is their worst season since 2001.
After losing in the semifinals of the French Cup and the Champions League, PSG is aiming to win the Ligue 1 championship this year.
Bayern Munich eliminated PSG from this season's Champions League after taking the trophy they were hoping to win for the first time both at home and away.
According to Vincent Duluc, who was quoted in L'Equipe, "PSG is expelled from the Champions League every season, so they go back to taking other games with no value."
Some believe that Messi should not be yelled at when he touches the ball, which helped Argentina win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Some supporters point the finger at Argentina's captain for the team's lack of effort as it appears that PSG has not yet been finished as it should be.
According to L'Equipe, their cheering for Messi is because he frequently walks by himself on the field rather than racing and attempting to catch the ball from his opponents.
According to research done at the World Cup in Qatar, Messi only walked 14 kilometers on the field in three games for the group. This season, Messi hasn't started to walk much on the field.
Some people neglect the fact that Messi will turn 36 in June after his two-season deal with PSG, not because of his on-field behavior, but rather because time has passed slowly.
The decision to extend Messi's contract now rests with PSG. His contract has been in place for years and has been paying him $43.6 million annually while Uefa watched the club spend its revenue in line with its earnings.
According to some sources, Barcelona has contacted PSG about re-signing the Argentina captain, thus Messi may have his sights set on a different team for the upcoming campaign.
