(WATCH) Fans boo Lionel Messi ahead of final PSG game

Lionel Messi’s time at Paris Saint-Germain looks set to end with more controversy.

The Ligue 1 champions have confirmed Messi will formally leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June.

Head coach Christophe Galtier previously stated tonight’s clash with Clermont would be Messi’s final appearance for the club as their campaign comes to an end.

Messi’s final months in Paris have been dominated by off field negativity, despite playing a key role in a second successive Ligue 1 title for him, and PSG.

16 league goals and assists have come alongside a club suspension, following an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia in May, and a breakdown in relations.

Despite PSG and Galtier both wishing Messi well in his next move, sections of the PSG ultras could be heard booing Messi’s name being read out, ahead of facing Clermont.

Barcelona are still working on a deal to bring Messi back to the Camp Nou, but their chances appear to be reducing, with a straight choice between the USA and Saudi Arabia becoming more likely.
