Mbappe Settles With Neymar After Furious Rant At PSG Teammate
Kylian Mbappe and Neymar appear to be back on good terms despite the Frenchman’s bitter comments about his teammate during Paris Saint-Germain’s most-recent fixture.
Tensions between the two superstar forwards came to a head during the 2-0 victory over Montpellier on Saturday.
Mbappe was substituted off moments after Julian Draxler doubled PSG’s lead and leaked footage captured by Canal+ showed he was furious with Neymar for not passing to him throughout the Ligue 1 clash.
“Yes, yes, he doesn’t give the pass to me,” Mbappe is believed to have said of Neymar, while French outlet L’Equipe claim the 22-year-old also used a pejorative word to describe the Brazilian.
But the duo seem to have put the incident firmly behind them, as they were back in training on Monday with smiles on their faces.
They worked alongside Lionel Messi, who appears to have shaken off a knock in time to face Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Mbappe, Neymar and Messi lined up together for the first time in PSG’s previous European outing but failed to live up to their billing in a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge.
Mauricio Pochettino is confident his side will secure a better outcome as the Premier League champions come calling to the Parc des Princes.
