Thiago Silva likes post criticising PSG for allowing Messi, Neymar leave after Newcastle humiliation

Thiago Silva has seemingly waded into the bandwagon of criticising Paris Saint-Germain if his latest social media activity is anything to go by.

PSG were put to the sword by Newcastle United in the Champions League on Wednesday, October 4, with the Magpies running out 4-1 victors at St.James Park.

One might argue that the result was a little bit fair to the Parisians, considering how Eddie Howe's charges dominated proceedings. Goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar saw the Toons record their first Champions League win in over two decades.

The argument of the night was how PSG failed to offer any impetus going forward, with the front four of Kylian Mbappe, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele looking like passengers.

PSG blamed for allowing Messi, Neymar to leave

The Ligue 1 giants underwent an overhaul this summer where Lionel Messi, Neymar and Marco Veratti were allowed to leave - a decision that is now seemingly costing Luis Enrique.

An Instagram user, Ofuiclear, tore into PSG for allowing the players to leave in a heavy-worded statement.

"You have to eat (expletive) to give up this trio (referring to Verratti, Neymar and Messi). You have to be stupid or sold out and the worst thing is that this (expletive) echoes around here. Lots of motivated weaklings with a microphone out there, and they talk like scholars," he said in a translation provided by PSG Report.

The post was liked by Thiago Silva, which can be insinuated as tacit support of the message. The Brazilian captained PSG before joining Chelsea in 2020, where he won the Champions League a year later.

Messi joined Inter Miami on a free transfer, while Neymar and Veratti joined Saudi clubs for modest fees.

PSG will next face AC Milan in a double header looking to get their campaign back on track after the drubbing in England.
