Once again, PSG will have to wait to try and lift the coveted UEFA Champions League title, something they thought they could do with Lionel Messi as part of their squad.
Unfortunately for them, the Argentine's hoodoo in the competition continues, and quite frankly, there were enough reasons for fans to aim digs at him due to his uneventful performance at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
To make matters worse, Messi continued putting up some worrying numbers against Los Blancos, as you can see by scrolling down.
