Guendouzi Booed

After saying that he would rather the French team played at the Stade de France than Paris Saint-Germain's home stadium of the Parc des Princes, Matteo Guendouzi was jeered by the French fans, with the media claiming it was because of those comments.

It does seem an odd reason to boo him for saying this: "I would have preferred to play at the Stade de France, that's for sure. The Parc des Princes is the stadium of PSG. But we will be keen to win there and I hope that the people who will come to the stadium will be entertained and proud of us and we will push to qualify for the World Cup."
