Kim Kardashian was at Arsenal's Europa League tie with Sporting in midweek, and she also took in the Lionel Messi show at Paris Saint-Germain.

Sporting beat the Gunners on penalties in the Europa League round of 16 tie after the two teams were left locked at 3-3 on aggregate following normal and extra time in the second leg encounter at Emirates Stadium. The Kardashians have now crossed the English Channel and made their way to the French capital, where they got the chance to see Messi and Kylian Mbappe in action against Rennes. Having a Kardashian in attendance did not bring them good luck against Rennes, however, as

PSG failed to revitalise their season once again, falling 2-0 at home to a well-organised Rennes side, with Lionel Messi storming down the tunnel at ...

But Rennes were more than comfortable defending their advantage, and enjoyed a moment or two on the break, as well. It was a simple thing that undid PSG's backline. And Rennes capitalised on PSG's inability to find the back of the net.

PARIS, March 20 — Paris Saint-Germain's march towards another Ligue 1 title was slowed yesterday as they went down 2-0 at home to Rennes, the second time ...

It was a seventh Ligue 1 goal of the campaign for the 21-year-old, who joined Rennes last summer from PSG after the capital club decided not to keep the forward who had performed well on loan at Lens last season. Qatar-owned PSG only have a ninth Ligue 1 title in 11 seasons left to play for after being knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 by Bayern Munich. Arnaud Kalimuendo made it 2-0 three minutes after the restart against the club he left in the last close season, as PSG slumped to a first home league defeat of the campaign.

Lionel Messi headed straight down the tunnel following Paris Saint-Germain's defeat against Rennes, rather than stay out and applaud the home support.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Questions continue to be asked of how much longer Messi will be sticking around in Paris, with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner set to see his contract expire in the summer.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) football club was hoping for a win in their recent match against Rennes, but they didn't get what they were looking for.

PSG is used to having superstar performers on the pitch, but it seems that the presence of a Kardashian is too much for them to handle. While it’s difficult to prove that the Kim Kardashian curse is real, it’s certainly a topic of conversation among sports fans. The most popular Kardashian and her son, Saint West, attended the game as part of [their European tour](https://www.tmz.com/2023/03/19/kim-kardashian-soccer-tour-son-saint-paris-psg-rennes/) according to TMZ, and it seems that wherever she goes, a curse follows.

PSG's season encountered more misery with a 2-0 home defeat to Rennes in Ligue 1, a match in which Lionel Messi was booed by his own fans.

Galtier was a big hope at the beginning of the season because of his tactics (3-4-3), the behaviour of his players on the pitch and his communication. “But the owners love selling shirts and having Kim Kardashian at PSG. The Champions League exit to Bayern was naturally seen as a huge blow, but perhaps also a wake-up call for the owners, who won’t want to pass up this opportunity to make PSG a true superpower in the game. They wanted to sell Neymar but nobody wants him and he wants to stay. After a good start to the season, PSG believes they can win the Champions League, but they get knocked out... They can't sell Mbappe because he is the project. The most likely option is this one: Galtier is fired, a new coach comes in. The Brazilian is 'lucky' to be out for the rest of the season as he has been seen as being way more problematic than Messi for years now.” It’s not just Messi who is in the spotlight. “It's a failure, that simple,” Morin says, assessing Messi’s time in the capital. Which says a lot, also, about the internal functioning at PSG.” He's seen as the symbol of PSG's strategy that hasn’t worked for years but still continues: more stars, less team spirit.

With each passing day, Lionel Messi gets closer and closer to becoming a free agent in the summer as his contract with PSG expires at the end of the season.

However, Financial Fair Play will dictate whether they can afford to bring him back to the club for one last dance. Now, L’Equipe is claiming that PSG are no longer sure about whether they should hand Messi a new contract as it is becoming clear that some section of the club’s supporters do not wish for it to happen. [L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Messi-dans-le-flou-avec-le-psg-apres-sa-prestation-sans-saveur-contre-rennes/1386954) is claiming that PSG themselves are ‘no longer sure’ about whether they want to renew Messi’s contract or not.

In reality, there will be a negotiation between the two clubs at the end of the season because there is no buy option clause in the loan deal and Lukaku will have to return to London in June.

"To beat Paris twice in the same season says something about us. "The objective is to win the league. It is the Parisians' fourth Ligue 1 loss this season, all of them in 2023, and the second time they have been beaten by Rennes. But everything needs to be put into context," Galtier added when asked about his position. "A defeat is always upsetting.

They are in such a financial mess that they are already struggling to register their current players. It has been a dire season for him in club football with PSG already out of the French Cup and the Champions League. The reunion would be magical, a genuine emotional moment but chances of it happening are slim. The Blaugrana will be unable to sign players until they raise at least £178m just to comply with the La Liga’s financial rules. More often than not, it was like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. ‘You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain’.
