Some fans whistle as Lionel Messi’s name is announced as Paris Saint-Germain’s season hits new low

On April 2, 2023, Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Lyon, marking their second straight loss at Parc des Princes. The match was marred by some PSG fans whistling Lionel Messi's name during the starting lineup announcement, reflecting growing frustration with the team's poor season. Bradley Barcola scored the winner for Lyon in the 55th minute after Alexandre Lacazette missed a first-half penalty. The loss leaves PSG six points behind league leaders Lens and Marseille in Ligue 1, threatening their domestic title hopes. Messi has contributed 34 goal involvements (18 goals, 17 assists) this season, second only to Kylian Mbappé's 38. PSG head coach Christophe Galtier criticized the jeering and emphasized the team needs more support from players beyond Messi and Mbappé.
