A star-studded rivalry exploded before half-time in Paris Saint-Germain's 5-2 win over Montpellier.
PSG were 1-0 up after a Falaye Sacko own goal and a Montpellier handball in the box gave them chance to extend the gap with a penalty.
Kylian Mbappe had taken and missed a penalty in the 23rd minute and wanted to make amends but it was Neymar who took the ball.
Mbappe asked for the ball from Vitinha, who ignored him as Lionel Messi watched in disbelief in the background. The French striker wanted to take the penalty but the Brazilian wasn't going to make half a gesture to make it happen. The penalty was Ney's and it was staying that way.
With the ball already on the penalty spot and Neymar standing over it, Mbappe approached him and attempted to talk him round, but Neymar barely had one ear open to his appeals.
And his celebration with his tongue out as soon as he scored the spot-kick is also open to interpretation. There's trouble at PSG.
Neymar already fought Cavani for penalties in 2017
The fact is that it's raining on PSG's parade. The battle of egos between their forwards is not new... nor is it likely to come to an end soon.
In 2017 Neymar had his ups and downs with Edinson Cavani when it came to sharing penalties, which ended up being resolved amicably but still left a bad image of the fractured relations in the dressing room.

Neymar and Mbappe were arguing about who should take the penalty. And this is Benzema asking Rodrygo if he wants to take the penalty to complete his hattrick in the Champions League semi-final. We have no choice except to acknowledge the humbleness and unselfishness of King Karim! We love him more for that. โค๏ธ๐

Manchester United's academy dressing room has this photo of Leo Messi to make sure their young players understand the importance of staying humble. This is something that Mbappe should take inspiration from.

This is exactly what happens when you give excessive power to a selfish, arrogant egoistic kid. This is just the beginning of the season and we have already started to see the effect of that contract. All players (even couch) must keep Mbappe happy or else they will be sold or loaned or sacked. Every body must play for him. No great & smart player will join PSG in coming years because no player wants to play for another player's satisfaction, stats & glory. Great players play for the team, badge, club and trophy. At his age Messi had 3 ballon d'or and Ronaldo had 1 ballon d'or and they both were massively popular...both proved the world & fans started calling them GOAT. Yet both Barcelona and Real Madrid treated them just like any other player. But PSG started treating Mbappe like the club president though he is not even proved anything. This is why PSG is a small club. This Mbappe will ruin lot of players careers in nexf 4 years and PSG will suffer a lot. They are in MESS.

Messi is not fighting to score penalty goals because he has scored all types of goals. There is no new type of goal for him to score

professional players have staff for cleaning their boots and other stuff so no, he doesn't have to clean his own boots.. and that's what it signifies that a player of the supreme level is so humble, a quality most players miss these days

Hate for Messi is on peak . I love Messi but I respect Ronaldo and Benzema and other senior Madrid Players . But Some of you really hate Messi too much and finds a way to blame him always. If you watch psg Matches then you know what's the main problem is . Mbappe hardly passes to Ney and Messi. It's not about what in the past. Mbappe is Selfish and arrogant. Hakimi Only sees Mbappe on ground. No team Chemistry. Only Messi and Veratti plays for team. Only Because of The deal psg had with Mbappe . Real Madrid should be happy that they failed to sign him. Real Madrid is best in terms of team spirit. Mbappe would Spoil that . Arrogant Kid .

It's still his boots though, for him to clean his own boots shows responsibility not humility, he's not cleaning anyone's boots but his..it's weird how y'all see this as humility
I have a house help to do the dishes, but I do it myself even though thereโs someone who gets paid to do that. And you say itโs not humility? Change your brain, the one you carrying is filled with drugs and hate for Messi. Ronaldo butt licker.๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

1. You are the one who started watching it yesterday. 2. Benzema has 5 ucls and many other trophies as well as a pending balon dor. Eibarman has 3 ucls and cant even win it since xavi and iniesta retired. 3. Msssi hasnt won more than ronaldo. The only thing he has is farmer trophies like copa del reys and spanish amatuer division league titles. On international level, Eibarman took 20 years to win a trophy for which he competes with jungle dwellers collected from the beach. Oh he also won a friendly against italy. 4. Of course he won't boast his balon dors. I mean it would embarrassing considering he won half of them trough journalism bias and stat padding against getafe and osasuna. 5. Do you know whats not called humility tho? Refusing to sign a long term contract since 2016 and forcing Barcelon to make your wage bigger and bigger every season on yearly extensions. Because otherwise you would go for free. Having a sallary of 350k pounds in 2016 and FORCING the club to give you up to 2.5 milion per week only four years later. While winning nothing for them. Messi is the second biggest contributor to Barcelonas bankruptcy after their bad transfer policy. If he was a humble man he would have signed a long term contract in 2016 but he refused. He forced them year after year to make his sallary bigger while failing to win a UCL. And then the media cries about how he wanted to stay but la liga didnt let him. 50% of his Barcelona sallary in 2020 is still 4 times bigger than his sallary in 2016. When he was an actually good footballer. He is a money hungry monster that destroyed the club that made him and went to take money from arabs.
Just read a few sentences....most of it is nosense, am surprised you even had the time to write it. The hatred in you for Messi is understandable. Let me add just a few things. Funny you call Finnalissima a friendly, like I said you started watching football yesterday, bcos you would have known that it is the Nation League that is a friendly, Finallissima is older than the oldest member of your family. Eibarman? Well he is also Madridman, ManUman, you name it, the man has fucked all the teams out there. It's funny you call Spanish trophies as amature. Your goat my ass won the same amature, 2 in 9 years, Messi 7 in the same period. As for COPA AMERICA. Man, I thank Heaven for that. I tell you sth? I prayed for that....go do a research PLAYERS WITH MOST TROPHIES EVER.... both INDIVIDUAL and TEAM trophies. Ronaldo is a Jnr to Messi my friend.
