Paris Saint-Germain fans walked out of the club’s Parc des Princes stadium despite their side being crowned as Ligue 1 champions, in an ongoing protest against the club.
Les Parisiens sealed the title this weekend but the mood around the club is soured with boss Mauricio Pochettino booed by large sections of the home crowd when his name was read out ahead of kick-off amid reports that he is set to leave the club. PSG were held 1-1 at home by Lens on Saturday, but despite that landing them the Ligue 1 title – few fans seemed to be in the mood to celebrate with an exodus from the stadium. That meant the player’s celebrations were mainly confined to the dressing room and away from the public eye.
It followed the supporter’s 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."
