The England international, who came on as a substitute in the 3-1 home defeat to the Ligue 1 side, swapped shirts with Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour at the end of the match, prompting some reaction from the home crowd.
Walcott seemed to respond in a manner suggesting he wasn’t affected by their criticism, which will no doubt sour relations further after another highly disappointing result for the club in this competition.
