Was Messi booed again in the Parc des Princes?

Leo Messi was again in the middle of boos this Sunday, in the PSG vs Troyes by Ligue 1 French that finished tied. Fans of the Parisian team blundered when the ‘Flea’ dominated the ball in the center of the field, however, they did not intend to bother the Argentine star.

The whistles sounded 19 minutes into the match, when PSG was winning by the minimum in the Parc des Princes and Messi was moving inside the central circle. At first impression, they seemed like a sign of protest against the ’10’ and confused many, including those in charge of the transmission for Latin America, but they were not for the captain of the ‘Albiceleste’.

According to the journalist Andrés Onrubia Ramos of the newspaper AS, who was present at the stadium, he clarified that the boos were not directed at Messi.

“I have been live at PSG-Troyes and I can confirm that Leo Messi has not been whistled. The whistles go to the Troyes fans, who in the 19th minute began to sing ‘Paris on t’encule’, to which the Parc des Princes replied with a whistle”, he pointed out via Twitter.

“In the 19th minute, it so happens that, when the PSG fans start to whistle at the Troyes fans, Messi touches the ball and it seems that they are whistling at him. But there were already whistles in the passes before he received. What’s more, he has always been applauded every time he has missed an opportunity,” he added.

With the Ligue 1 title secured, Paris Saint Germain relaxes and did not go beyond the draw in the Parc des Princes against Troyes (2-2), a team that needs to score points to escape the threat of relegation that practically sealed with the tie harvested in the Parc des Princes.

The champion added his third tie in a row. He hasn’t won since he won the title. On this occasion, he squandered a two-goal lead achieved in twenty minutes. First with a goal from Marquinhos after a cross from Ángel Di María and then with a penalty converted by Neymar for a foul by Erik Palmer Brown on Kylian Mbappe.

There, Mauricio Pochettino’s team stopped their momentum, leaving Sergio Ramos on the bench and starting their trident, with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe.

After half an hour, Troyes suddenly found themselves in the match due to a big mistake by Nuno Mendes who, when crossing his goalkeeper, brought the ball to the feet of Ike Ugbo who beat Keylor Navas.

The tie came at the beginning of the second half. For a grab by Presnel Kimpbembe inside the area. Florian Tardieu did not fail and matched the match.

The scoreboard could have changed to either side but it did not change and Troyes achieved the point they needed while the champion completed one more day before the close of the financial year.
