Former FC Barcelona star Javier Mascherano claims the Paris Saint-Germain fans will regret criticising Lionel Messi in the future.
Messi will miss PSG's next two game after he was fined and suspended for taking an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia earlier this week.
PSG fans have expressed their discontent for Messi with a protest, while some supporters also went to Neymar's house to make their feelings clear.

"It's a pity for not realising they were lucky to have him on their team,' he told Ole. 'I think that 10 years ago, no Paris fan imagined that they could possibly have the best player in history on their team.
"And instead of enjoying it, they spent these two years criticizing him. In 10 years they will regret it.
"Any team in the world would give anything to have him for five minutes. Neither party deserved this ending.
"If there is something that cannot be criticised [about Messi] it's his professionalism: it's hard to find someone with his professionalism even though he's possibly the best player in history.
"It's impossible to criticise him. Let him go where he's happy and with his family. If it's here, great: see him every weekend it would be a great goal.
"Otherwise we will continue watching him on TV as we have been doing for almost 20 years."
