Video of Barcelona Fans Chanting Lionel Messi’s Name During El Clasico Emerges

• Barcelona supporters chanted Lionel Messi's name during El Clasico
• Messi has been linked with a return to the Catalan giants this summer
• The Argentine's current deal with PSG expires at the end of the season

Fans of Spanish giants, FC Barcelona chanted Lionel Messi's name in the 10th minute of their Copa del Rey semi-final encounter against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.

35-year-old Messi has frequently been linked with a return to Camp Nou in the summer, given the uncertainty surrounding his future at Paris Saint-Germain.

According to the Sun, the Catalan giants have already made a contact with the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner in a bid to persuade the club legend to return to Spain.

Supporters of Barcelona made their feelings known when they hosted their bitterest rivals in the semi-final second leg of the Spanish Cup.

In a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, the fans could be heard chanting 'Messi, Messi' in the 10th minute of El Clasico at Camp Nou.

The treatment he received from the Barcelona faithful in the stands was in sharp contrast to how the PSG fans treated him on Sunday.

Before the Parisians' match with Lyon, Messi's name was booed by his own supporters at Parc des Princes.

PSG went on to suffer a 1-0 defeat, reducing their lead atop Ligue 1 to six points.

Messi has made 33 appearances for the French club this season, netting 18 times and providing 17 assists.

However, he seems more and more likely to leave Paris at the end of the season.

With the emphatic victory, Los Blancos claimed the two-legged tie 4-1 on aggregate after suffering a 1-0 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the first leg.

Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior broke the deadlock just before half-time after he prodded home a deflected attempt from Benzema's pullback shot.

Sports Brief also reported on Messi being subjected to jeers from PSG fans prior to another home defeat in the French top flight on Sunday.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has been in the bad books since the Parisians' last 16 Champions League exit against Bayern Munich.

Despite the taunts, Messi found the humour in the situation, amid continued rumours stating he will depart the club at the end of his deal.
