PARIS, April 4 — A malaise has set in around Paris Saint-Germain since their exit from the Champions League, with a section of the club’s support turning on Lionel Messi amid a run of results that has given their domestic rivals an improbable glimmer of hope in the French title race.
As a consequence, PSG’s apparent march towards a record 11th French title — and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership — has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left. It is their worst start to a calendar year since 2001, and PSG’s next match will be away to a Nice side who are themselves unbeaten since early January.
Yet Messi has, for years now, appeared to run less than most other players on the field — research by statista.com showed that during the recent World Cup Messi covered over 14 kilometres at walking pace just during Argentina’s three group games. Messi’s mind may in any case already be elsewhere, with Barcelona openly courting their former number 10.
