Lionel Messi at PSG - 'It's a failure, that simple': Expert analysis of ... (Eurosport.com)

PSG's season encountered more misery with a 2-0 home defeat to Rennes in Ligue 1, a match in which Lionel Messi was booed by his own fans.

Galtier was a big hope at the beginning of the season because of his tactics (3-4-3), the behaviour of his players on the pitch and his communication. “But the owners love selling shirts and having Kim Kardashian at PSG. The Champions League exit to Bayern was naturally seen as a huge blow, but perhaps also a wake-up call for the owners, who won’t want to pass up this opportunity to make PSG a true superpower in the game. They wanted to sell Neymar but nobody wants him and he wants to stay. After a good start to the season, PSG believes they can win the Champions League, but they get knocked out... They can't sell Mbappe because he is the project. The most likely option is this one: Galtier is fired, a new coach comes in. The Brazilian is 'lucky' to be out for the rest of the season as he has been seen as being way more problematic than Messi for years now.” It’s not just Messi who is in the spotlight. “It's a failure, that simple,” Morin says, assessing Messi’s time in the capital. Which says a lot, also, about the internal functioning at PSG.” He's seen as the symbol of PSG's strategy that hasn’t worked for years but still continues: more stars, less team spirit.

The new signings have not been up to scratch and Neymar, to the surprise of the dressing room, argued angrily with Campos for several minutes.

Lionel Messi, PSG and what we're hearing about his future (The Athletic)

The World Cup winner is out of contract in the summer and there has still been no confirmation of where he will play next season.

As things stand, those close to Messi are planning personal and commercial matters with a view to staying in the city after this summer. A return to Argentina, and his first club in Newell’s Old Boys, of Rosario, also seems more distant than ever after a shooting outside a supermarket earlier this month in the Argentine city. There is a sense Messi is looking for the best financial option, even though sources close to him have stressed the importance of a sporting project — that he joined the club to win the Champions League, an ambition deemed possible initially by linking up with Mbappe and Neymar. It is thought Messi wants to be a part of a project that can remain competitive at the highest level. Today, there is a feeling within Messi’s camp that they do not know what the PSG project will look like, which is why they have yet to commit. But there are also doubts about the strength of Messi’s hand at this stage. Mbappe is thought to be a priority, a point disputed by those close to Messi’s camp. It showed screen grabs of three stories that had circulated around Messi — one suggesting Paris Saint-Germain would not “give in” to all of Messi’s requests to stay at the club, another saying Messi had requested €600million (£524m, $643m) to go to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal and another claiming Messi had left a training session early because he was unimpressed by a session set up by But there has been a drift in opinion since the Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern, with internal soul searching leaving no stone unturned. But there is also a view that allowing him to leave would open up some wiggle room in their financial fair play (FFP) calculations. PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos was present but a lack of detail about what next year’s squad would look like did not go down well with the Messi camp. Messi, 35, appears to be caught in the middle.
