After Neymar left Paris Saint Germain (PSG), the name Mbappe is the proud symbol of the Paris team. Recently, he was applauded by fans when he opened the score in PSG’s 2-0 win over Dortmund in the first round of Group F of the Champions League.
Since joining PSG from Monaco in 2017, Mbappe quickly developed into an indispensable pillar of this team. He scored 171 goals in 217 appearances for PSG, bringing home 4 Ligue 1 championships, 3 French National Cups, 2 French League Cups and Champions League runner-up.

Regarding individual honors, the 23-year-old star was honored three times as Ligue 1 Player of the Year; 3 times elected to the National University Champions League.
But the fact that PSG also brought Mbappe to the French capital, initially on a loan contract before a permanent transfer worth 159 million pounds from Monaco, brought many mistakes later.
True to the saying “one mountain cannot have two tigers”, the conflict between Neymar and Mbappe is increasingly heightened. PSG placed Neymar on the left wing, and pushed Mbappe to the opposite wing, or as a center forward. Appearing on the field together, these two stars showed their unpleasant attitude towards each other.
Lionel Messi had to act as an intermediary between Mbappe and Neymar.
In 2021, the camera lens at PSG’s match against Montpellier discovered Mbappe telling Idrissa Gueye that Neymar was just a parasite. The reason is because the Brazilian star did not pass the ball to Mbappe during the match.
The French striker later admitted: “Yes, I said that. That’s what often happens in football. I talked to Neymar afterwards. We had a frank discussion and there was no resentment.” “.
This has put PSG in an awkward situation. To even solve the problem, they had to use Lionel Messi as an intermediary between his two attack partners, Neymar and Mbappe.
According to Sport, Mbappe issued an ultimatum asking the PSG Board of Directors to resolve Neymar’s future soon.
Many experts believe that Neymar left the team to play for Al Hilal in the Saudi Arabia national championship partly because of unresolved conflicts with Mbappe.
According to Sport, Mbappe issued an ultimatum asking the PSG Board of Directors to resolve Neymar’s future soon. To convince the French striker to stay, the leaders of the French club were forced to push “little Pele” out.
When Neymar left, Kylian Mbappe affirmed his position at PSG. Scored a Dortmund goal in the first round of Group F of the Champions League and the eighth consecutive match for PSG.
