Lionel Messi snubbed a handshake from PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino after being substituted with 15 minutes to go in tonight's match with Lyon at the Parc de Princes.
Footage shows the former Barcelona man ignoring his manager's outstretched hand as he trudges off the pitch.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner was close to opening his account for his new employers on several occasions throughout the match. In the first half, he was denied after a brilliant break by Neymar and also hit the woodwork from a trademark, beautiful freekick.
PSG named an attacking line-up for the match, with Messi starting alongside Ángel Di María, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in a front four.
However, the Parisians couldn't find their flair for the most part and fell behind after a Lucas Paquetá effort just after half-time. Despite a relatively quick response in the form of a Neymar penalty, the Ligue 1 champions didn't look like finding a winner with both Di María and Messi replaced in an ambitious set of substitutions with less than 15 minutes to go.
