Messi faces the anger of Saint-Germain fans, despite the victory over Ajaccio

Paris Saint-Germain came closer to the record of achieving the French Premier League title for the 11th time, after crushing its guest Ajaccio 5-0 to send its rival to the second degree, while the fans in the Parc des Princes poured their anger on Lionel Messi today, Saturday.

Messi, who started as a starter after being suspended by the club for missing training last month, faced boos from the fans before and during the one-sided match.

Saint-Germain raised its tally to 81 points, with three matches remaining, thanks to the goals of Fabian Ruiz, Ashraf Hakimi, and a double by Kylian Mbappe, while Mohamed Youssef accidentally scored in his own net.

Coach Christophe Galtier’s team is six points ahead of second-placed Lens and 11 points ahead of third-placed Olympique de Marseille, who host bottom club Angers on Sunday.

Ajaccio has 18 points from 23 matches, 11 points ahead of 16th-place Auxerre, and the last four teams, out of a total of 20 teams, are relegated to the second division.

Each team ended the match with ten players after Hakimi and Thomas Mangani were sent off late.
