Lionel Messi sensationally BOOED by own PSG fans before AND after shock home defeat to Lyon

LIONEL MESSI was booed by his own fans as his name was read out ahead of the game against Lyon.

Some Paris Saint-Germain fans are upset with the superstar and voiced their displeasure on Sunday, before and after the game.

They feel Messi has not lived up to expectations with PSG being knocked out in the Champions League second round in both of the forward's seasons at the club.

Loud boos greeted the announcement of Messi's game following PSG's 2-0 loss in their previous game to Rennes.

And Messi could receive a similar reception at the next home game since Lyon beat PSG 1-0 on Sunday.

Kylian Mbappe escaped condemnation as his name was greeted with a warm reception.

Messi has scored 18 goals in 33 games this season but could be let go when his contract expires in the summer.

He is believed to earn £740,000 a week and PSG are reportedly looking to cut costs amid FFP concerns.

PSG were hit with FFP sanctions last year and were fined £8.6million, while £56.3m is on the line depending on the club's future compliance with the rules.

Barcelona are interested in bringing Messi back to the Nou Camp when his contract expires at the end of the season.

And according to club chiefs they have been in contact with the 35-year-old over a move.

Vice president Rafa Yuste said: “We’ve been in contact with Leo Messi’s camp. Leo knows how much we appreciate him and I’d love for him to come back.

“For sure Messi loves Barça and the city, so we hope to find the right conditions to continue his history here.”
