Footage of Lionel Messi being targeted by the Paris Saint-Germain fanbase, ahead of his final outing for the club, has come to the fore on Saturday evening.
Messi, and PSG, are of course currently locked in action.
As part of the season’s final round of Ligue 1 fixtures, Christophe Galtier’s troops, long crowned French champions once more, have welcomed Clermont to the Parc des Princes.
Veteran attacker Messi, meanwhile, was afforded his latest start, fresh off announcing that his stint in Paris is set to come to an end upon the conclusion of his contract, at the end of the month:
“Thanks to the club, the city of Paris and its residents for these two years and I wish them the best in the future”. 🔴🔵 #PSG

As alluded to above, though, on what should have proven a special night for PSG’s departing attacker, the 35-year-old instead saw his tumultuous relationship with the club’s supporters take its place in the headlines once more.
This came as the PSG faithful, vocal regarding their frustrations with Messi’s displays of late, took aim at the former Barcelona man once more.
