Lionel Messi was been jeered as Paris Saint Germain suffered their seventh loss of 2023 at home to Lyon by 1-0.
Several fans blew whistles in response to Lionel Messi’s name.
The Argentine, whose contract expires this summer, has been linked to Barcelona.
In his two seasons with the team, he has experienced two Champions League last-16 exits.
Whistles could be heard as his name was called out beforehand, but some supporters chanted him.
PSG were jeered off the field as Lyon forward Bradley Barcola scored the only goal.
Lyon’s bus could not fit under a bridge, thus they had to drive around the city, which resulted in the game starting ten minutes late.
The ninth-place visitors’ Alexandre Lacazette earlier hit the post with a penalty.
Late in the game, PSG’s all-time leading scorer Kylian Mbappe came close to salvaging a draw, but his shot was blocked.
With nine games remaining, the defending French champions are now only six points ahead of Lens and Marseille.
After going undefeated in all 22 games prior to the break, PSG has lost seven of their last 18 games across all competitions.
In addition to discussing a contract extension with PSG, Messi has also been approached by Barcelona about a potential return to the team where he played for the majority of his career.
