“Hundreds of PSG fans protest and call for Lionel Messi’s dismissal outside club headquarters”

DHundreds of Paris Saint-Germain supporters, including Ultras, gathered outside the club’s headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt on Wednesday to express their dissatisfaction with the situation at PSG, AFP noted.

“We are fed up with mercenaries! Messi must be fired! We must fire Nasser (Al-Khelaifi, the president of the club, Editor’s note)”, “Direction resignation” or even “Paris is us”, chanted the supporters in particular, three days after the defeat against Lorient at the Parc des Princes (3-1), the third in the last four matches played at home.

Some supporters, smoke bombs in hand, expressly cited players like Lionel Messi or Neymar and held up signs calling on players to “Wet the shirt” in front of the club’s headquarters.

“PSG: Who are you? Where are you going ? Can you hear me ? “, also wondered the Ultras on a banner.

“We are sincerely worried about the future and the sustainability of our club”, indicated in a press release the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP), wondering “if there is still a pilot in the plane”.

According to the CUP, “the athlete is adrift and this is due in particular to recruitment at a discount and without a global vision of collective needs”.

They criticized the “catastrophic management in recent years which has offered gold bridges to mercenaries, overrated and unconcerned players”.

Paris Saint-Germain opened disciplinary proceedings on Tuesday against their Argentine star Lionel Messi, who will be suspended several days after a trip to Saudi Arabia made without the agreement of his club.

The Ultras have also expressed their refusal to leave the Parc des Princes, while the club has positioned itself for a possible takeover of the Stade de France.

Monday evening, the day after the new defeat against Lorient at the Parc des Princes (3-1), some supporters had gathered in front of the Camp des Loges training center, with banners like: “No one respects you anymore. Why would we? or “You don’t represent our city in any way.”
