The Paris Saint-Germain match in the second round of the French Ligue 1 yesterday against Montpellier witnessed a broad victory for the Parisians by five to two goals, but it also witnessed a snapshot of a worsening crisis between two prominent stars in the team, the Brazilian Neymar and the French Kylian Mbappe.
During the match, Neymar was astonished when Mbappe was given the responsibility to score the penalty kick that the team got at the beginning of the first half, unlike the usual when Neymar was in charge.
But Mbappe missed it, then Neymar scored one of his goals from a penalty kick before the end of the first half.
And the exciting snapshot was also, according to what the newspaper "Marca" reported during the match, when Neymar rushed to get the ball to take the kick, while Mbappe approached him and seemed to want to take over for the second time, while Neymar insisted on paying and scoring.
After the match, an account for Neymar fans tweeted about the matter, and said, "Giving Mbappe the penalty kick in the presence of Neymar, contrary to what was previously done, is within the framework of the new contract for Mbappe with the club, through which Neymar will be disqualified and his value in the team is greatly reduced. Neymar was not late in admiring the tweet strongly criticizing Mbappe, the management of Saint-Germain and his technical staff, and this admiration was considered a veiled message from Neymar to the club's management and Mbappe in particular.
It is reported that Neymar had previously spoken to the media a month ago that he does not think at all about leaving Paris Saint-Germain and that whoever wants to leave must pay him his full dues, while a previous report by the French newspaper “L’Equipe” indicated that among the most important conditions that made Mbappe renew his contract to be He has a word about who stays and who leaves the team, and he desperately wanted to open the door for Neymar to leave, as the relationship between them has been very tense for years, and is not a new one.
Despite his success in ousting coach Pochettino, as well as the director of the Brazilian club Leonardo, he has not been able to achieve the same thing so far with Neymar.
It is noteworthy that Neymar has scored 3 goals in two league matches so far, compared to a goal by Mbappe, who did not play the first round match.
