First home match for PSG this Sunday after the elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. A new defeat that has provoked the anger of the Parisian fans, who could, as last year, pour their disappointment on their players.

Paris Saint-Germain hosts Rennes for the 28th matchday of Ligue 1. First match at the Parc des Princes after the elimination of PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League, the Parisians could therefore be heckled not only on the field by Rennes, but also in the stands by their own supporters. It is a sad habit that seems to follow the Paris-Saint-Germain squad: to clash with the anger of the Ultras after the elimination of the club in the Champions League.

For Christophe Galtier, "there is no reason to whistle our players"

Last year already, Neymar and Messi, among others, had been copiously whistled by the public after the rout against Real Madrid. History may well repeat itself today. It is rumored that the Argentine world champion would once again not be spared. Paris coach Christophe Galtier does not believe in these whistles and has defended his players.

"You quote me Leo Messi and other players. There is no reason to whistle our players. Our players gave their all in this competition and we were not eliminated because of so-and-so, so-and-so by Bayern Munich. We were eliminated because Bayern Munich arrived much fitter than us in this double confrontation."

At 17 p.m., the eyes and ears of the Parc des Princes will be riveted on the Auteuil bend, where the collective of Parisian Ultras is located. PSG must win to consolidate their lead at the top of Ligue 1 and try to stifle the anger of their supporters again.
