Paris Saint-Germain beat Bordeaux 3-0 this Sunday, but the team was booed a lot by the fans in the Parc des Princes. After the match, coach Mauricio Pochettino was asked about the most directed criticism of the forwards Neymar and Messi.
–
It’s unfair to me. We all deserve this anger from the fans, it’s not just fair to Messi and Neymar.”
— Mauricio Pochettino, in an interview with “Canal +”
–
“We were all affected. We understand the disappointment and frustration. We went through this together, as a team. We have to take responsibility for what happened. We share that disappointment – said the PSG coach at the press conference.
–
Neymar and Messi were booed at every touch of the ball, from start to finish. The Brazilian scored the second goal, but also received negative reactions at that moment. Pochettino declared that they were moved by the boos, as well as the whole group, which came after the elimination from the Champions League.
–
— The team responded well, with a professional demeanor. I absorbed this context with sadness. Nobody likes this environment. I believe that everyone who loves PSG shares that feeling, along with the pain of elimination. I’m sad for that and also for what we went through today – commented the coach, at the press conference.

Who also sought to defend Neymar and Messi was defender Kimpembe. The defender said he understands the fans’ dissatisfaction with the elimination of the Champions League.

“We are all at fault, there is not one more than the other. We are a team, and we are all together, in good times and bad. It’s time to show that we have character and that we are a team, by staying united and strong when it’s difficult. It’s time to raise our heads and show that we are strong. We understand the disappointment of the fans, their anger – commented Kimpembe, to the channel “Canal +”.
