Amid a gloomy
atmosphere in the French capital four days after their Champions League exit,
the club’s stars
Messi and
Neymar were jeered with Mbappe the only player
spared.
Seven-time Ballon
d’Or winner Messi was booed like never before in his career, even in the rare
bad times with Argentina, as his own supporters whistled at each touch of the
ball.
The Parisians hold a 15-point lead on second-placed
Nice and are on track to equal Saint-Etienne’s record of 10 French titles, but
the frustration of their home fans spilled over.
They have not forgiven Messi, their star summer
signing, for having sunk the rest of the ship against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Mbappe scored the goals that put PSG two up with
less than 30 minutes to play in Madrid. Then the French club collapsed again,
letting in three goals in 17 minutes.
Only Mbappe escaped the wrath of the supporters,
cheered on every ball and scoring the opener after 24 minutes.
Ligue 1 remains
Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s only
objective for the rest of season.
On the pitch, Mbappe responded by blasting in the
first goal, picking up a Georginio Wijnaldum cross in an action also involving
Messi for the World Cup winner’s 15th goal of the season in Ligue 1.
Neymar added a second seven minutes after the break
with Messi again sending through for
Achraf Hakimi, who teed up the Brazilian
to finish off.
Leandro Paredes got on the scoresheet for the first
time this season after an hour, blasting the ball into the top of the net.
Bordeaux have now lost seven of their ten away games this
season, and sit bottom of the table.
