Lionel Messi whistled, party cut short for Christophe Galtier … The strange atmosphere of the celebration of the title of champion of France

Christophe Galtier had warned that there would be “no party” to celebrate the 11th title of champion of France in the history of Paris Saint-Germain. Saturday June 3, despite the defeat at the Parc des Princes against Clermont (2-3) and the evening of tributes paid to goalkeeper Sergio Rico, still in critical condition, the capital club even organized celebrations. The latter did not reach a consensus and did not manage to hide the disappointment at the end of a grueling season on all fronts.

The Parc des Princes was treated to its sound and light show, its podium and even two fireworks. The players were called one after the other to the stage to lift the Hexagoal, the Ligue 1 trophy. The cheers intended for the majority of the players, including Neymar, especially highlighted, by contrast, the hearty whistles that emerged from the stands at the announcement of the names of Lionel Messi and Christophe Galtier. A few minutes before the match, PSG had formalized the departure of the Argentinian. Earlier, according to information from Franceinfo, the departure of Christophe Galtier was already certain.

If the Argentinian has, as usual, left nothing to show, the coach, he went on the podium with a very closed face and left him before everyone else. He appeared a few minutes later at the microphone of Canal+ still as rigid, not giving official confirmation of his departure, but ready to settle his accounts: “Now I know what it’s like to be in a media court, because that’s been the case all season. There has been very little benevolence, insults but it’s part of the job, you have to take it. I’m convinced that I’m coming out of this season stronger.”

A few minutes later, in the privacy of the Parisian locker room, and to immortalize this new coronation and to thank Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi, we noted the absence on the picture of Christophe Galtier and his staff, unlike Luis Campos, the adviser PSG football, very present alongside Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president.
