Upon issuing an apology, the length of his suspension was shortened, and unsurprisingly, PSG fans didn’t hesitate to express their discontent with Messi’s actions, voicing their disapproval through jeers and boos. PSG’s remarkable 5-0 triumph over Ajaccio was indeed overshadowed by the unfavorable reception received by the team.

Kylian Mbappe’s exceptional brace contributed to the victory, which brings PSG closer to clinching the Ligue 1 title. Nevertheless, the attention remained fixated on Lionel Messi and the fans’ response. Being a Barcelona legend who joined PSG in 2021, Messi assuredly felt the disappointment from supporters who should have held him to higher standards of commitment and professionalism.

To uphold team morale and ensure accountability among the players, PSG’s management is expected to handle the situation internally. And as for Messi, he will need to earn back the trust and support of the fans by delivering impressive performances on the field and demonstrating his unwavering dedication to the club. PSG’s triumph, despite the boos, however, shows the club is determined to strive for success in domestic and European competitions.
