After protestingagainstLionel Messiat the club’s offices, Paris Saint-Germain ultras have lately found themselves in the spotlight. The angry fans voiced their displeasure soon after the World Cup champion was suspended for going to Saudi Arabia without permission.

Since his loyalty was often questioned during his two years in France, it’s unlikely that the Argentine would sign a new deal with the Parc des Princes outfit. Meanwhile, Brazilian striker Neymar has received unwanted attention from the supporters during yet another season marred by injuries.

The Ultras also paid a visit to his house, asking that the Brazilian be released from his contract with the club. The crowd booed the star players and screamed slurs against theRed-and-Blues’ chairman and CEO Nasser Al Khelaifi, who they claim ignores their requests.
