Fuming PSG fans protest after Messi ban and chant ‘Neymar f*** off’ outside star’s HOUSE amid fury at club ownership
FURIOUS Paris Saint-Germain fans turned up outside of the club’s headquarters to PROTEST after Lionel Messi was suspended for two weeks.
The footballing superstar was handed the suspension following an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia.

Messi, 35, became a tourist ambassador for the Gulf State last year after agreeing a £25million deal to promote the country.
The forward reportedly missed PSG training on Monday, with the club’s Qatari bosses coming down hard on Messi as a consequence of his trip.
But PSG fans arrived in their droves outside of the club’s head office following the ban and after the club suffered a 3-1 loss to Lorient at the weekend.
The protest saw fans ignite flares while holding up banners calling on the club’s management to resign.
One banner said: “Leadership resign.”
A second read: “PSG who are you,” while a third had on it: “Where are you going?”
PSG fans also protested outside Neymar’s house[/caption]
The club’s superstars were not spared from the protests either with one chant outside of the club’s HQ going: “Messi, son of a b****.”
A group of PSG Ultras also turned up outside of Neymar‘s house.

In a video taken at the scene, they could be heard chanting: “Neymar casse-toi” which translates to go away but in slang and general use means “f*** off.”
The club released a statement slamming the actions of the supporters.
It said: “Paris Saint-Germain strongly condemns the intolerable and insulting actions of a small group of people, which took place this Wednesday.
“Whatever the differences, nothing can justify such acts. The Club gives its full support to its players, its management and all those affected by these shameful behaviours.”
Messi is now set to leave the club after two underwhelming years in Paris, following the move from the French league leaders.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague told the BBC that “neither club nor player” want to renew Messi’s expiring deal at the end of the season.
And reports suggest his trip to Saudi could be indicative of his future, with the Argentine heavily linked with a transfer to a club in the nation.
This could likely see him reignite his feud with Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently stars for title-chasing Al-Nassr.
However, many teams remain keen on the World Cup winner, including a host of Premier League and European sides.
Pep Guardiola could be in line for a reunion at Manchester City, while cross-town rivals Manchester United would also be keen to get their hands on Messi, though this may depend on the club’s new ownership.
Money spinners Chelsea and Newcastle have been linked too, while the door is open for Barcelona to bring their best-ever player home with Inter Miami also linked in the past.

Many of Neymar’s team-mates past and present posted their congratulations on the photo set, including Tottenham striker and fellow Brazilian Richarlison and PSG midfielder Marco Verratti.
It will be Neymar’s first child with Bruna.

“I am very fond of him [Neymar] and his whole family. Please stop involving my name. Thank you.”
However, the pair spent the Brazil international’s 31st birthday together in February and shared some intimate photos on social media.

Brazil vs Switzerland – World Cup Group G: How they’re doing, injuries and prediction with favourites missing Neymar
PRE-TOURNAMENT favourites Brazil are hoping to book their place in the World Cup last-16 WITHOUT star man Neymar against Switzerland.

Brazil will be heavy favourites to beat Switzerland, who are expected to finish runners-up in the group.

Any injuries to worry about?
Brazil: The South American team will be without star man Neymar, who took a knock to the ankle against Serbia.
The Paris Saint-Germain star suffered ligament damage after being clattered by defender Nikola Milenkovic and will miss the rest of the group stages at least.
Right-back Danilo will also miss the rest of the group stage with a similar injury.
Switzerland: The European country have no fresh injury concerns and manager Murat Yakin isn’t expected to make any changes.
Who will be the star men?
Brazil: West Ham summer signing Lucas Paqueta is one to watch, playing in a slightly deeper role alongside Manchester United’s Casemiro.
Richarlison is Brazil’s Golden Boy up front, as is Vinicius Jr on the wing.
Switzerland: Embolo will be the danger man for the Swiss… he knows where the back of the net is.
Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka will captain the side and will have to get the best of Casemiro and Co.

Brazil vs Serbia – World Cup Group G: How they got there, form and prediction as Neymar and Co get underway in Qatar
THEY’RE the most successful nation in World Cup history with FIVE trophies to their name.
But Brazil haven’t gone all the way since a Ronaldo-inspired success in 2002.
In fact, they’ve only ONCE made it past the quarter-finals in the 20 years since that day when they lost the third-place play-off to Holland in 2014 on home soil.
This winter, Tite has a star-studded squad itching to go the distance.
But before getting too ahead of themselves, Brazil must find a way to navigate a particularly tricky group, featuring Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
Up first, it’s potential dark horses Serbia – as SunSport takes a look at everything you need to know before the big game.

How’s their form?
Brazil: Well, they’ve won every match since JANUARY 27 when they were held 1-1 by Ecuador in a feisty encounter.
Incredibly, their most-recent defeat came in the Copa America final in July 2021.
They beat Ghana 3-0 and Tunisia 5-1 in September, with both those teams in this winter’s tournament.
Serbia: Thumped Bahrain 5-1 in their pre-tournament warm-up match on the back of a strong Nations League campaign.
They won four of their group games, drawing one and losing one.
Prior to that, they beat Hungary – who inflicted England’s biggest defeat since 1928 just weeks later – with a 3-0 loss to Denmark shortly after.
Who are the managers?
Brazil: Tite – A hugely experienced boss having spent most of his career in his home nation, Qatar will only be his second World Cup having taken over in 2016.
The South Americans lost 2-1 to Belgium in the quarter-finals in Russia four years ago, with Tite itching to make up this time around.
Tite has won a staggering 75 per cent of his 76 matches in charge of Brazil.
Serbia: Dragan Stojkovic – A former team-mate of Gary Lineker, he started his managerial career at Nagoya Grampus Eight, following in the footsteps of Arsene Wenger, who famously led the Japanese side before heading to Arsenal.
Stojkovic spent five years there, before moving to China to manage Super League side Guangzhou R&F, where he spent another half-decade.
The 85-cap international took over as Serbia boss in 2021 and has won a hugely impressive 14 of his 21 matches, losing just three times.
Who are the star players?
Brazil: Could easily list the entire 26-man squad, with a world-class squad more than capable of putting out two lethal XIs.
But their attack is the attention-grabber with the likes of Neymar, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Richarlison and Antony in the current group.
Yet they’re strong across the board, with Alisson and Ederson fighting for the No1 jersey, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Eder Militao in defence and Bruno Guimaraes, Fabinho and Casemiro in the middle.
Serbia: Aleksandar Mitrovic is the clear main man for the European side, with his last-gasp winner against Portugal securing their World Cup place.
His goals are invaluable to the team, but the squad is packed with top talent including Dusan Tadic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Dusan Vlahovic, with Luka Jovic, Filip Kostic and Nikola Milenkovic also in the 26-man group.

What’s the head-to-head?
The teams have faced off twice, with Brazil winning both.
The South Americans won a friendly 1-0 in 2014 shortly before the World Cup on home soil.
Brazil then beat them 2-0 in the group stages of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Neymar Jr. Comes To PUBG For Some Reason
Krafton has announced that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will be introducing a collaboration with Brazilian footballer Neymar da Silva Santo Junior, with themed visuals popping up in game, and items available in the in-game store.
The Neymar collaboration is dropping as a part of update 20.2, which is due out on PC on November 9 and for consoles on November 17. The visual update will include billboards, building decorations, soccer balls, and care packages themed after the soccer superstar.

According to recent leaks for Modern Warfare 2, the athlete could also be appearing soon as a new operator in the game, alongside other big-name footballers.
