Lionel Messi: PSG Fans Express Discontent in Miami, Display Disrespectful Banner Targeting Argentine Star
Fans of PSG have once again shown that they are not happy with Lionel Messi. The Ultras, a passionate group of fans, reportedly made their presence known in Miami to send a clear message to Messi that they don't feel he is valued in Paris.
The Argentine superstar spent two years with PSG, but his performance didn't meet the high expectations he is known for. Now, some PSG fans, called the Ultras, supposedly traveled to Miami to remind Messi of their strong but challenging feelings for him, according to a report from All Football.
In photos shared on the X App (previously known as Twitter), two fans believed to be part of the Ultra group were seen holding up a large banner that expressed their dissatisfaction with Messi. The banner read: "Messi: Finally rid of the rude."
At the same time, soccer fans in the United States gathered at Times Square to watch Messi play his first game for Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer (MLS). He made a significant impact by scoring a goal in the 89th minute, helping Inter Miami win 2-0 against the New York Red Bulls.
Despite the negative feelings from some PSG fans, Messi managed to shine in his MLS debut for Inter Miami. He scored a goal with a close-range shot in the 89th minute against the New York Red Bulls, as reported by e360hubs. The goal resulted from excellent teamwork, starting with a skilled pass from Jordi Alba to Messi after a well-executed run inside the penalty box.
