Like Neymar, Lionel Messi was treated to an inelegant banner from Parisian ultras on Saturday night.
Love stories end badly, in general. Especially in Paris. Saturday evening on the sidelines of the championship match between PSG and RC Lens, the Parisian ultras thought fit to send a final message to Neymar, flown to Saudi Arabia after six tumultuous years. But Lionel Messi has not been forgotten either.
Leaving for the MLS, the North American elite, after two years in the capital with mixed results, the Argentinian world champion was treated to the same indelicate banner as his former teammate Auriverde. Namely the approximate English formula “Finally rid of the rude” which could be translated as “Finally rid of the rude character”.
A contest of inelegance
In both cases, the dedication is signed “MMXIII”, the trademark of the Parias Cohortis affiliated with the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) since 2013, specifies Le Parisien. For La Pulga, the message was delivered near the DRV PNK Stadium, the lair of Inter Miami, in Fort Lauderdale. No one was there unfortunately to appreciate the content since at the same time, Lionel Messi and the Florida franchise were playing against the New York Red Bulls in New Jersey. With the key for the interested party an 11e goal in nine American outings. And a first victory as part of the MLS.

But also: “We have had two difficult years. The truth is that it didn’t go well, we struggled. Here I appreciate everyday life, especially sportingly, which was not the case in Paris. »
