Paris Saint Germain fans have started to turn on Lionel Messi after a video from the Bayern Munich clash went viral.<br /><br />On Tuesday, PSG were hoping to gain an advantage in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash against Bayern.<br /><br />However, the German Bundesliga champions came out on top at the Parc des Princes after a 53rd-minute Kingsley Coman goal sealed a 1-0 victory for the Bavarian club.<br /><br />In the closing stages, Kylian Mbappe had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR whilst Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.<br /><br />Unsurprisingly, PSG fans were not happy with their team’s performance as they expected them to go deep in this season’s competition.<br /><br />Messi has now become the subject of criticism after a video surface during the aftermath of the game.<br /><br />The video captured Neymar pressing from the front with the score at 0-0.<br /><br />However, the Brazil star was pressing on his own whilst Messi was seen just strolling around the pitch, leaving some fans frustrated.<br /><br />One fan said: “Messi no where to be found. Much respect for Neymar who actually cares can’t even blame him fr.”<br /><br />Another tweeted: “This alone made Neymar my man of the match.”<br /><br />A third fan added: “Messi's job in football is done he is just playing it for vibes now.”<br /><br />During his post-match interview, PSG boss Christophe Galtier bemoaned the lack of depth within his squad, he said: “From the start, we didn’t have depth in our game. Bayern automatically advanced enormously on us.<br /><br />“We had trouble getting the ball out of the back and holding it very high. We were obviously cornered. I suspected that by playing that way and without the depth we needed in these matches.<br /><br />“Obviously there is a disappointment but we all knew that there would be no qualification or elimination tonight.<br /><br />“We will see in three weeks what state our squad will be in, if we will have recovered freshness and the players we are missing to play a full match at the level of the last half hour played this evening.”<br /><br />PSG will be back in Ligue 1 action this weekend as they take on Lille on Sunday.
