Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos has hit out at the club’s ultras ongoing protests following their elimination from the Champions League last month.
It followed their major protest at a Ligue 1 clash against Rennes in which they blasted the 'overpaid mercenaries' on their books and attacked the board. There were over 20 banners unveiled by the ultras which were a direct attack on the club's hierarchy and playing staff. One of their multiple banners explained in that clash, in a message to their players: "A half to prove our discontent. How many will it take to prove your commitment?" In an even stronger message, the ultras held up the line: "They also choose their matches. We'll do the same."
Last month, PSG fans booed Lionel Messi and Neymar during the club's first Ligue 1 match after they were eliminated from the Champions League in last month's Round of 16 tie against Real Madrid. The two South American superstars were booed with every touch of the ball by PSG fans during a league meeting against Bordeaux. Those boos came just a day after PSG ultras called on president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to resign following the latest European humbling for their club.
