PSG's season encountered more misery with a 2-0 home defeat to Rennes in Ligue 1, a match in which Lionel Messi was booed by his own fans.

Galtier was a big hope at the beginning of the season because of his tactics (3-4-3), the behaviour of his players on the pitch and his communication. “But the owners love selling shirts and having Kim Kardashian at PSG. The Champions League exit to Bayern was naturally seen as a huge blow, but perhaps also a wake-up call for the owners, who won’t want to pass up this opportunity to make PSG a true superpower in the game. They wanted to sell Neymar but nobody wants him and he wants to stay. After a good start to the season, PSG believes they can win the Champions League, but they get knocked out... They can't sell Mbappe because he is the project. The most likely option is this one: Galtier is fired, a new coach comes in. The Brazilian is 'lucky' to be out for the rest of the season as he has been seen as being way more problematic than Messi for years now.” It’s not just Messi who is in the spotlight. “It's a failure, that simple,” Morin says, assessing Messi’s time in the capital. Which says a lot, also, about the internal functioning at PSG.” He's seen as the symbol of PSG's strategy that hasn’t worked for years but still continues: more stars, less team spirit.
