Luis Suarez's wholesome message to Messi and Neymar as PSG pair booed by own fans

Luis Suarez has launched a passionate defence of his former Barcelona colleagues Lionel Messi and Neymar after the Paris Saint-Germain pair were booed by their own fans during the club’s Ligue 1 clash with Bordeaux.

Following their side’s Champions League collapse against Real Madrid earlier this week, furious PSG supporters made their feelings towards the superstar South American duo perfectly clear on Sunday afternoon at the Parc des Princes.

Maurico Pochettino’s men had looked on course for a safe passage through to the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier club competition on Wednesday night when they led 2-0 on aggregate with just 45 minutes of the two-legged tie to play.

Enter Real’s Karim Benzema, who turned the equation of the match on its head with a blistering 17-minute hat-trick at the Bernabeu.

Suddenly facing elimination, PSG’s stable of superstars never looked like regaining a foothold in the contest, with Messi and Neymar both noticeably ineffective in the club’s time of need.

There can be no doubt that the result will lead to wholesale changes in Paris this summer. Pochettino is not believed to have a long-term future as boss – and a significant number of his playing staff could also follow him out of the door.

If fan reaction to Messi and Neymar against Bordeaux is anything to go by, many of the club’s supporters would like to see both men depart.

Boos for Lionel Messi and Neymar around Le Parc des Princes
