Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is not the most popular man among Barcelona supporters.
If followers of the Catalan club could despise the leadership of another club as much as they’ve despised the leadership of their own in recent seasons, then PSG would be a likely candidate.
The French champions, along with Manchester City, have been strongly linked with a move for Lionel Messi, looking to take advantage of the Argentine’s contract expiring at the end of this season.
People connected to PSG haven’t been shy when it comes to speaking about the potential transfer, and that’s clearly annoyed some Barcelona fans.
With PSG arriving in the city for the Champions League clash between the two clubs, people waited outside the Ligue 1 side’s designated hotel to welcome the travelling party.
El Chiringuito report that when Al-Khelaïfi appeared, he had ‘Leave Messi, thief’ shouted at him, along with the expected ‘Son of a…’.
🤬 “DEJA A MESSI, LADRÓN”.

Manchester City are also in the picture to sign Messi this summer, although there doesn’t seem the same annoyance towards the English club.
Pep Guardiola’s presence will play a part in that, as will the Manchester City boss repeatedly insisting Barcelona is Messi’s rightful home.
