President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi had barely put his nose through the door to get out of the black vehicle which had just come to a stop in front of the large hotel by the sea in Barcelona, where PSG took up residence on the eve of the eighth of final first leg of the Champions League, which the first insults were launched.
A dozen Barça supporters, gathered behind barriers, immediately booed and insulted him.
“Leave Messi alone, thief!
»We could hear.
Or: “Give me a million euros!

In recent weeks, the Catalan camp has complained about the supposed destabilization attempts of the PSG to take too close an interest, in its eyes, in the future of Lionel Messi.
“What I would ask is that PSG do not get down to destabilizing Barça.
We did nothing to them, ”launched Joan Laporta, president from 2003 to 2010 and favorite candidate in the polls for the next election for the club's presidency, on March 7, in reaction to Leonardo's comments in France Football.
The Parisian manager had indicated: “I do not know if Messi in Paris, it is feasible… But we are seated at the big table of those who follow the file closely.
In fact, no, we are not yet seated, but our chair is just reserved in case… ”
Recurring tensions between the two clubs
In the morning, Ronaldo Koeman, the coach of Barça, and Jordi Alba, the left side, had already, in a less direct way, asked to leave Lionel Messi alone.
This incident in front of the hotel is just a new episode of increasingly strained relations between the two clubs.
From the comeback in 2017, to the attempts to recruit Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Verratti to Neymar by the Catalans, the climate has never been appeased between the two contenders for the final victory in the Champions League.
The Parisians arrived in Barcelona in the middle of the day and are due to train at 6 p.m. at Camp Nou.
Very marked at the time by the episode of the remorada, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, him, must expect to know some more very special hours in Barcelona.
