Paris Saint-Germain’s Instagram following has decreased by 800,000 since Lionel Messi’s final game for the club on Saturday.
The French champions confirmed that Messi’s final league game of the season would be his last for the club on Saturday. In a statement, they expressed their pride in having the greatest footballer of all time.
Despite an impressive season in Paris, where Messi scored 21 goals across all competitions, his last game at the Parc des Princes resulted in a surprising defeat against mid-table Clermont.
After the game, supporters expressed their disappointment with their star forward, marking the end of two years without winning over a man who couldn’t bring a Champions League title.
As noted by Pete Jenson, Messi’s involvement in Argentina’s World Cup victory over France and his unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia earlier this year are unlikely to have positively influenced his situation.
Lionel Messi participated in his last game for Paris-Saint Germain against Clermont on Saturday.
Clermont secured a 3-2 victory over the hosts at the Parc des Princes on the final day of the season.
The exact reason for PSG’s significant drop in Instagram followers after the Clermont game, whether it was due to disrespect towards a beloved star or the confirmation of his departure, remains unclear.
The number of followers decreased from 69.9 million to 69.1 million, highlighting the impact that such a player has on global fandom.
Messi leaves France after winning two league titles and scoring 32 goals, and his former teammate Neymar will certainly miss him.
Expressing his thoughts on social media, the Brazilian forward said, “Brother… it didn’t turn out as we thought, but we gave our all. It was a pleasure to share two more years with you.”
Neymar expressed his joy in spending two more years with the Argentine forward before his departure, stating that it had been a delightful experience.
