L’Equipe suggested one reason for booing Messi is that he spends so much time on the pitch walking, apparently not putting in the necessary effort. theSun theSundaily Messi PSG Lyon Mbappe WorldCup2022
Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi and Lyon's French midfielder Maxence Caqueret fight for the ball during the French L1 football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais at The Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris on April 2, 2023.
As a consequence, PSG’s apparent march towards a record 11th French title — and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership — has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left. It is their worst start to a calendar year since 2001, and PSG’s next match will be away to a Nice side who are themselves unbeaten since early January.
Nevertheless, some fans see him as a symbol of all the club have done wrong in focusing on superstar signings while failing to build a genuinely competitive team. Walking is not the problem with Messi, but age is. He will be 36 in June, when his contract expires after two years in Paris. “I would love it if he returned,” said Barca vice-president Rafael Yuste last week as he admitted there had been “contact” with the player.
