The true story behind this video that's was on May 3, 2023 outside PSG's headquarters in Paris. That's the day the Ultras finally snapped and told Messi to leave. Why they wanted Messi out Messi joined PSG in August 2021 after Barcelona went broke. At first PSG fans loved it. But after 2 years: PSG got knocked out of Champions League in Round of 16 twice - vs Real Madrid in 2022 and vs Bayern Munich in 2023. Fans felt Messi disappeared in both ties. Fans thought the club became a retirement home, not a real team. Messi on huge wages, but no fight on the pitch. The final straw was the Saudi trip. After PSG lost 3-1 to Lorient at home on April 30, 2023, Messi flew to Saudi Arabia for a paid job without the club's permission and missed training. PSG suspended him for 2 weeks - no play, no training, no pay. For the Ultras, that was disrespect. That day, several hundred members of Collectif Ultras Paris - PSG's hardcore fan group - gathered at Boulogne headquarters. They lit flares and chanted. They held banners: PSG OU TU VAS? PSG where are you going ? And they started chanting directly against Messi. The coach at the time even said: I can understand protesting at the training ground, but private life must stay private. That protest was the end. PSG already decided not to renew Messi. A month later on June 3, 2023, Messi's last game at Parc des Princes vs Clermont, the Ultras booed every time he touched the ball. He left as a free agent and joined Inter Miami a few days later. For PSG fans, it wasn't just about Messi the player. They saw it as the project failing - buying stars but losing the identity of the club Ronaldo never experienced this.
