Lionel Messi’s final game for Paris Saint-Germain ended in defeat as the Ligue 1 champion lost 3-2 at home to Clermont on Saturday.
Sergio Ramos, who was also playing his final match for the club, scored as did Kylian Mbappé to give PSG a 2-0 lead within 21 minutes, but mid-table Clermont fought back for an unlikely win.
PSG announced in a statement ahead of the match that Messi’s “adventure” with the club would conclude at the end of the season.
But the former Barcelona star has had a difficult final season in Paris. Though he scored 21 goals and 20 assists in all competitions, helping the team to the Ligue 1 title, PSG again failed to progress beyond the last 16 of the Champions League, the trophy the club covets the most.
Some PSG fans have recently booed his name before and during matches, doing so again at his final match, according to Reuters.
