PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN will reportedly haul Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in for talks following their penalty drama on Saturday.
The pair were involved in a spat on the pitch during the recent 5-2 win against Montpeliier at Parc des Princes where both players got on the score sheet.
French World Cup winner Mbappe failed to break the deadlock from the spot in the 25th minute after having his effort brilliantly saved by Jonas Omlin.
Les Parisiens were then awarded a second penalty just before half-time which was duly dispatched by Neymar in what was the first of his two goals.
But prior to the Brazilian’s coolly slotted shot, Mbappe confronted his team-mate to give him the ball as he is the club’s designated penalty taker.
Following the match, Neymar liked many tweets slamming PSG’s decision to have the ex-Monaco ace taking penalties ahead of him.
