Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar of Paris Saint-Germain were viciously attacked by Bundesliga club Augsburg after Bayern Munich eliminated them from the Champions League earlier this week.

PSG was eliminated in the round of 16 by Bayern Munich over the course of two legs, prolonging their wait for their first Champions League victory.

Against the Bavarians, PSG's feared trio unexpectedly failed to score even once, with Messi and Mbappe in particular being muffled at the Allianz Arena. Due to an ankle injury that would end his season, Neymar was unable to play.

Augsburg played Bayern Munich on Saturday in a top-flight game, and despite losing 5-3, they took solace in the fact that they did score thrice against the league champions - a fete PSG couldn't.

Ironically, had Christophe Galtier's side scored three goals over the two ties, the game could have gone to extra time and possibly penalties. Mergim Berisha scored twice on march 11th to add to the strike he got in the first leg against the same opposition in a surprise 1-0 win in September.

Fans reactions

Fans trooped online to respond to the online troll.

@jogabonito said: "Mbappé alone has more trophies than your club. Know your place."

@ahmdan said: "I'd never thought I'd see the day where Berisha outscores the whole PSG team"

PSG bounced back to beat Brest in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening to cement their lead in France, while Augsburg's defeat saw them remain in 13th place.

Messi achieves new milestone Sports Brief had earlier reported that Messi reached 300 club assists as Paris Saint-Germain wiped their midweek wounds with a hard-fought victory over Brest.

The genius number 10 added further gloss to his greatest of all-time claim when he set up Kylian Mbappe, who made no mistake by rounding the goalkeeper before slotting home from close range.

PSG were coming off a 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 in midweek, suffering a 3-0 aggregate loss.

Messi's latest milestone intertwined with PSG's 3000th goal in the French top flight.
