A remarkable story, centering on the ongoing rift between French giants Paris Saint-Germain and the club’s fanbase, has come to the fore late on Saturday evening.
For those who may have missed it, tensions in Paris have ramped in a major way over the course of the week to date.
Amid another underwhelming campaign to date, the club’s supporters have not been at all shy in making their frustrations with a whole host of figures at the club known.
All of Lionel Messi, Neymar and the board at the Parc des Princes have been targeted, amid calls for the former pair to be sold, and the latter to stand down.
PSG fans went to Neymar’s house to demand he leaves the club.
“Neymar, get out! Neymar, get out!”
