KYLIAN MBAPPE remains the talk of the town in Paris and it could see Neymar drop out of the Paris Saint-Germain starting XI.
New boss Christophe Galtier overhauled the team’s structure and seemed to have finally unearthed the recipe to unlocking the Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi front three.
However, despite their form playing together, Mbappe believes three really is a crowd and just two of their trio can truly flourish together.
And of the three, he believes the dynamic duo should be himself and Messi – even though the Argentine is expected to quit the club next summer.
Relations between Mbappe’s camp and PSG are said to be at “a breaking point” due to “war inside” the club – stemming from the Frenchman’s demands.
Despite the red-hot form of Neymar and Messi, Mbappe remains the centre of discussion surrounding the club.
