Paris Saint-Germain's miserable season went from bad to worse on Sunday as the team suffered a second straight home defeat with a 1-0 loss to Lyon.

“Paris’ problem is when the No. Messi tries very hard, they didn’t all work out; but around him, the other players also need to do their jobs.” Messi’s arrival at the Parc des Princes was supposed to be the missing piece that would help PSG finally win the Champions League, the trophy the club’s Qatari owners crave the most.

PARIS — The relationship between Lionel Messi and PSG fans is not getting better. It's actually turning bitter. Less than a week after he scored a hat-trick ...

It is also down to his teammates in terms of doing more to create more danger in the opposition penalty box.” He helped the club win the Champions League four times, the Spanish league 10 times, the Copa del Rey seven times and the Spanish Super Cup eight times. Even more since Barcelona vice-president Rafael Yuste said last week the club is in contact with its former golden child. Messi, who joined PSG in August 2021, has been embodying the team’s shortcomings in spite of pretty good statistics. PSG has lost eight of its 18 games in all competitions in 2023. He was involved in a few good moves, but also lost the ball 26 times as the French league leaders suffered a second straight defeat without scoring.

The title is not guaranteed at all, there are still a lot of matches," he said on Prime Video. "We can't expect everything from Leo and Kylian," said Galtier. "There are lot of things to change, not just the mindset, but it's not up to me to say what." "The whistles, I find that hard," said Galtier. Talks have begun on a possible renewal but he has also been linked with a return to Barcelona. As the team line-ups were announced over the loudspeaker, whistling greeted Messi's name in one part of the stadium.

Messi becomes a target for fan discontent as PSG malaise deepens (FRANCE 24)

A malaise has set in around Paris Saint-Germain since their exit from the Champions League, with a section of the club's support turning on Lionel Messi ...

It is all they have left to play for. There is no suggestion PSG will listen to offers for Mbappe this year, but the future of Galtier is very much up in the air after an underwhelming first season in charge. As a consequence, PSG's apparent march towards a record 11th French title -- and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership -- has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left.

Messi becomes target for fan discontent as PSG problems deepen (BeSoccer EN)

A malaise has set in around Paris Saint-Germain since their exit from the Champions League, with a section of the club's support turning on Lionel Messi ...

Meanwhile Luis Campos, effectively PSG's sporting director, is pondering how to build a team around Kylian Mbappe that will be strong enough to finally go all the way in the Champions League next season. While major clubs like Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all sacked managers in recent weeks, Galtier is hanging on in Paris for now. One difference at PSG this year is the backdrop of Qatar's interest in Manchester United, which has led to questions about the Gulf state's commitment going forward. As a consequence, PSG's apparent march towards a record 11th French title - and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership - has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left. Meanwhile, jeering Messi might seem absurd, just a few months after he crowned his career by leading Argentina to glory at the World Cup. The Argentine then turned in a flat display as his team lost 1-0 against mid-table opponents, their second straight defeat in Ligue 1, both at home and both without scoring a goal.

A return to Barcelona on a free transfer is not going to be a cakewalk with the Catalan club still in the middle of a financial crisis. But his failure to inspire PSG against Bayern in the Champions League has now put serious questions marks over his future in Paris. After his return from the World Cup in Qatar where Argentina famously beat France in the final, Messi received a warm welcome at his French club, allaying fears of a hostile reception. A week after being feted by his adoring countrymen in Argentina during two friendly matches organised to celebrate the World Cup triumph in Qatar, Lionel Messi has been at the receiving end of whistles and jeers in Paris.
