Messi was again whistled at the Parc des Princes on Sunday
Winner of the World Cup with Argentina last December, Messi has been taken aback by a (small) part of Parisian supporters in recent weeks.
He was the target of whistles on the sidelines of PSG's home defeat in Ligue 1 against Lyon last Sunday (0-1).
The Argentine has 13 goals and 13 assists in 24 league appearances this season.
But his level of play has been much more fluctuating since the World Cup this winter.
If PSG seemed at first inclined to extend his contract, Messi never showed a desire to register for the long term in France.
