LIONEL MESSI risked a further chill in his relationship with PSG by snubbing their title celebrations for a Coldplay gig in BARCELONA.
Barca fans chanted for their legend when they spotted him with wife Antonela and Cesc Fabregas at the Brit rockers' concert.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is exiting the Ligue 1 champions this summer, with a Nou Camp return strongly tipped.
And excited supporters poured onto social media, one cheekily commenting: "Priorities. Coldplay concert >>> PSG celebrations."
That's a reference to Gareth Bale celebrating qualifying for Euro 2020 behind a flag saying: "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order."
Messi choosing the gig rather than rejoicing with PSG comes as team-mate Neymar also reportedly opted to snub his club's French bliss.
German outlet BILD say the injured Brazil icon was seen partying and playing poker at the Red Bull Energy Station in Monaco until late on Saturday night.
But it's Messi's trip to Barcelona that will spark most speculation.
He was sanctioned by PSG this month after missing training to travel to Saudi Arabia without permission.
Messi was pictured at the concert joking with ex-Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Fabregas, who he played with at Barca for three years. Coldplay were the first group to sell out the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys venue in Barcelona over four nights.
And should Messi secure a romantic move back to the La Liga winners, it is that venue where he will be playing his football next season.
Barca have rented out the Olympic Stadium while the Nou Camp is renovated.

No, they are different cases. They boo him and called him to leave. United fans chant for Cristiano but, he ignored them. Cristiano walks down the turnel while his fans are wanting for him to applaud them. But Messi in PSG, they hate him since after WC victory against France. Messi beat Spain with Xavi and Iniesta in a friendly in Spain and score hart-against them but they never show him such hate even in Madrid. Why would he join the party? With whom will he celebrate??? He should better go where you are valued. Try to be honest!
