Once again Neymar was booed by the PSG faithful before the game, as was manager Mauricio Pochettino, while his name continues to be linked with the Manchester United job.

Messi's name though was greeted with cheers as it was read out by the stadium announcer, after he too was jeered alongside Neymar last month.
