Lionel Messi faced a less than warm reception from PSG fans upon his return to Parc des Princes, with some expressing their discontent through boos.

Lionel Messi’s return to Paris Saint-Germain has been met with renewed opposition from some PSG fans, indicating a strained relationship between the player and the supporters.

Messi had faced suspension by the club due to an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia earlier in May, which further complicated his position at PSG.

However, in a recent development, Messi was reintegrated into the team and issued an apology to both the club and the PSG ultras. Manager Christophe Galtier included Messi in the starting lineup for the match against Ajaccio.

Despite Galtier’s belief in Messi’s readiness to contribute significantly to PSG’s title defense, the home fans expressed their disapproval by whistling at him throughout the first half of the match.

While Messi’s departure from Paris seems likely at the end of his contract in June, his next destination remains uncertain. Barcelona has been working on a deal to bring him back to the Camp Nou for the 2023/24 season. However, the financial challenges faced by Barcelona have opened up the possibility of Messi joining Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club. The situation is fluid, and Messi’s future will undoubtedly be the subject of much speculation and discussion in the coming weeks.
