Lionel and Neymar were booed by Paris Saint-Germain fans on Sunday in their first game since their dramatic Champions League collapse to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

The Ligue 1 leaders took on Bordeaux and both players were roundly booed by the home supporters and their every touch jeered.

However, there was no such treatment for Kylian Mbappe, who is likely to move to Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer.

At one point during the first half, the fans booed as Messi and Neymar stood over a free-kick and then sarcastically cheered when Neymar hit his effort over the bar.

PSG eventually won 3-0, with Mbappe, Neymar and Paredes scoring the goals.

The victory moves them 15 points clear at the top and continues their march toward the title.

Uganda head coach Paul Put has outlined three key areas his side must focus on to secure victory against Nigeria when both teams clash in Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie.

Put’s side must claim all three points against the Super Eagles or risk an early exit from the competition. The Cranes have just one point in Group C after their opening two matches.
A win against Nigeria could see Uganda qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Put said that for Uganda to overcome Eric Chelle’s side, they must “concentrate be very prepared and win their duels” against Nigeria.

“We have to go for it [win against Nigeria] and we will do it,” Put said.

“Nigerians play at a high level in Europe, so we have to be very concentrated, very prepared and win our duels, which is one of the strong points of Nigeria.”
