First home game for PSG this Sunday after the elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. A new defeat which angered the Parisian supporters, who could, like last year, pour out their disappointment on their players.
Paris Saint-Germain receives Rennes for the 28ᵉ day of Ligue 1. First match at the Parc des Princes after the elimination of PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League, the Parisians could therefore be heckled not only on the field by the Rennes, but also in the stands by their own supporters. It’s a sad habit that seems to follow the workforce of Paris-Saint-Germain: to come up against the wrath of the Ultras after the elimination of the club in the Champions League.
For Christophe Galtier, “there is no reason to whistle our players”
Last year already, Neymar and Messi, among others, had been copiously whistled by the public after the rout against Real Madrid. History could well repeat itself today. It is rumored that the Argentine world champion would once again not be spared. Parisian coach Christophe Galtier does not believe in these whistles and defended his players.
“You quote me Leo Messi and other players. There is no reason to whistle our players. Our players have given the maximum in this competition and we have not been eliminated because of so-and-so , of so and so by Bayern Munich. We were eliminated because Bayern Munich arrived in much better shape than us in this double confrontation.”
At 5 p.m., the eyes and ears of the Parc des Princes will be riveted on the Auteuil bend, where the Parisian Ultras collective is located. PSG must win to consolidate their lead at the top of Ligue 1 and try to quell the anger of their supporters once again.
