  • Lionel Messi's wife was close to tears while he was getting booed by his own Paris Saint-Germain fans on Sunday
  • Messi and his teammate Neymar were both whistled during PSG’s 3-0 win over Bordeaux at Parc des Princes
  • Messi has endured a frustrating spell with the French giants since he joined them in the summer of 2021 from Barcelona

Lionel Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, had a front row seat to watch her husband get booed by his own fans during PSG's clash against Bordeaux.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner found himself on the receiving end in recent days following PSG's dramatic exit from the Champions League in the Round of 16.

The Argentine was unable to help the French giants from crashing out of the European tournament as they took on Real Madrid in the knockout phase of the competition.

And on Sunday during PSG's 3-0 victory over Ligue 1 strugglers Bordeaux, there were incessant whistles directed at Messi and Neymar from the home fans.

The Argentine captain was booed as never before in his career, even in the rare bad times with Argentina, and whistled at every touch of the ball.

Cameras spotted Antonella's reaction, and it looked like she even shed a tear.

Apparently, PSG fans were unsatisfied with Messi's performance during their Champions League defeat to Real Madrid last week.

Messi has been heavily criticized for nonchalance since joining PSG last August.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has only registered 2 goals in 18 Ligue 1 games this season.

Heartbreaking Thing PSG Fans Did to Lionel Messi Just Hours After They Booed Him During Match

Sports Brief earlier reported that angry Paris Saint-Germain fans have made their feelings known about Lionel Messi's future with the club.

This is after a section of the club's fan base sprayed graffiti at PSG's training centre demanding the seven-time Balloon d'Or winner leaves Parc des Princes.

PSG fans have since made it clear that they want Messi and club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi out, with the support base now targeting the training centre to make their displeasure known.
