In his first match back since being suspended for an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi was met with boos from some Paris St-Germain fans as the Ligue 1 leaders secured a 5-0 victory over Ajaccio.
The match saw both teams reduced to 10 men following a scuffle between Thomas Mangani and Achraf Hakimi, with both players receiving red cards.
PSG’s Fabian Ruiz and Hakimi scored in the first half, while Kylian Mbappe netted twice early in the second half before Ajaccio’s Mohamed Youssouf scored an own goal, ultimately leading to their relegation.
Ajaccio had a chance to score in the 67th minute when Mickael Barreto’s right-footed shot narrowly missed the mark.
Messi played the full 90 minutes for PSG, who are now just four points away from securing their 11th French title under Christophe Galtier’s management.
