It was not another return for Lionel Messi. After the sanction that the club had applied to him for a trip to Saudi Arabia without permission, the Argentine star returned to the starting team of Paris Saint Germain, who thrashed Ajaccio 5-0 and was one step away from repeating his title in the Ligue 1 from France. But the return had a bittersweet taste, since a part of the Parisian fans disapproved of each one of his interventions. As the game progressed and as he put on a convincing performance, another sector of the Parque de los PrÃncipes stadium chanted his name.
At the time of announcing the formation of PSG through the loudspeakers and screens of the Parc des Princes, the public present, at that time scarce, rehearsed a loud whistle towards number 30 in contrast to the applause for the French star Kylian Mbappé. It was more striking that Messi made his first interventions in the game with notorious disapprovals from all four sides.
But as the game progressed, the goals came and Messi showed off with his actions, the booing diminished and some songs appeared in favor of the Argentine. In closing, it seemed that the situation had calmed down, but the star had already shown his annoyance at what had happened.
In short, PSG took another step in search of the title thanks to two goals from Mbappé, one from Hakimi, another from Fabián Ruiz and the other against Mohamed Youssouf. With nine points to play, Christophe Galtier’s team brings six to Lens, so they could be crowned champions next weekend. In that case, they would need to achieve a better result against Auxerre, as a visitor, than Lens in their visit to Lorient.
