Lionel Messi: The love story between Lionel Messi and PSG is coming to an unfortunate end, it seems. It looked more like a marriage of convenience, rather than actual love between these two. After Barcelona announced that it wouldn’t be able to sign Messi due to its financial issues, PSG stepped in. Messi never wanted to join the Parisian club but with no other option on the horizon, he moved to France. Now, two seasons and two early Champions League exits later, it seems as though the divorce between player and club is imminent. Follow Lionel Messi LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN

PSG does have the option to offer a 12-month extension on Messi’s current contract. The deal signed in 2021 was 2 years + 1 additional year. But, it does look like the Argentinian will be opting to end his time in Paris at the end of the 2022/23 season.

In the first game that he was booed, Leo was not a happy man at all. After the game, wherein PSG lost, the players went around to thank the fans for their support. As soon as the final whistle blew, Messi went straight down the tunnel without acknowledging the fans at all.
His reaction to the whistles suffered against Lyon has gone viral as well. He didn’t seem too bothered when he was whistled while warming up against Lyon though. In the clip, the veteran forward took it in his stride by simply laughing.
