PSG never released they had the best ever.
The booing of Lionel Messi’s name by Paris Saint-Germain supporters coincided with rumours that he would be returning to Barcelona. Whistles and boos could be heard at Parc des Princes before the start of the Ligue 1 match against Lyon as Messi’s name was announced in the starting lineup.
The jeers swiftly changed to applause when Kylian Mbappe’s name was mentioned, suggesting severe problems with Messi and his current club.

PSG fans have every right to boo Messi. He doesn't press, he doesn't score, he doesn't assist, he ghosts in every big game they play, and he's disrespecting their club by negotiating with Barca even though he's under a PSG contract worth 200 million pic.twitter.com/QKsK1yyXGu

This will only increase his possibility of not renewing at Parc des princess.
“The fracture with the stands is evident at this stage of the season, heightened by rumours of his future return to Barcelona,” the attending Mundo Deportivo journalist noted after observing the reaction.
Ever since his emotional farewell in 2021, Messi has been said to be considering a return to the team that was his lifetime home. The best player in the history of the Spanish powerhouse was forced to depart due to financial constraints, and PSG emerged victorious by signing the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner for free.
Messi signed a two-year contract in the French capital, but his future is still up in the air this summer. There are rumours that he may stay at PSG or possibly depart for Inter Miami of Major League Soccer.
Messi being booed by the PSG ultras is not just down to the Barcelona links but also his goals which saw him down France in the FIFA 2022 World Cup final, something the French haven’t been able to get over.
Barcelona still dreams of a fairy-tale return.
Rafa Yuste, the club’s vice president, said earlier in the week that he had been in communication with the 35-year-old’s representatives, which ignited speculation about a possible transfer to Barca.
He remarked, “The love I have for Leo and his family is known to them. I participated in the negotiations for the [2021 contract], which unhappily resulted in no concrete decision. Leo couldn’t stay at our club, and I still believe that today. Messi is conscious of our appreciation for him. I would like for him to return. Naturally, we interact with them.”
PSG fans weren’t any happier at the end of the game when their team lost shockingly to Lyon 1-0, with Bradley Barcola scoring the game-winning goal. The outcome puts PSG in first place in Ligue 1 with a six-point lead over Lens in second place.
