Lionel Messi bids farewell to PSG

Lionel Messi bids farewell to Paris Saint-Germain after two seasons in the capital that have left a taste of unfinished business.
Messi was brought to PSG to help the club win the Champions League.
Instead, PSG bowed out in the last 16 in both seasons with the World Cup winner in the squad.
Messi's numbers with PSG, however, are not too bad ahead of Saturday's final match of Ligue 1 against Clermont at the Parc des Princes: 32 goals in 74 games, according to league statistics.
Messi, the top provider in the league this season with 16 assists, has been regularly whistled and booed by PSG ultras in recent weeks and club officials hope it won't happen again for his finale.
PSG was crowned champion for a record 11th time last weekend, ahead of Lens and Marseille.
With the top three spots settled, focus will be on Lille, Rennes and Monaco, who are battling for the two remaining European places.
Also, eight-time champion Nantes hosts last-placed Angers and hoping to avoid relegation.
Nantes is in a two-way fight with Auxerre to determine who goes down alongside already-relegated Troyes, Ajaccio and Angers.
