Paris Saint-Germain continued their sweeping start to the seasonay thrashed Montpellier 5-2 at home over the weekend, in matchday 2 of Ligue 1, in a match where he shone Neymar with a double.
With 6 points, PSG authoritatively controls the standings and confirms its good form at the hands of its new coach, Christophe Galtier, who made his home debut on the bench at the Parc des Princes.

Before this Saturday’s victory, the team from the French capital had won 5-0 on the first day, in Clermont-Ferrand, and 4-0 against Nantes in the Champions Trophy (French Super Cup), in a match played in Tel Aviv.
Not all that glitters is gold
However, the difficult relationship between two of the team’s stars, Mbappé and Neymar, has been uncovered.
The first goal of the Parisians this Saturday against Montpellier came in minute 39 (1-0), with a goal against Falaye Sacko when trying to cut off a death pass sent by Kylian Mbappé.
Neymar left the match on track before the break by converting a penalty in minute 43 (2-0) and the Brazilian star extended the score at 51 (3-0), with a header.
With his leading role this Saturday, Neymar vindicates himself, one day after being left out of the list of thirty candidates for the next Golden Ball.
However, Neymar, apparently, did not leave the game happy. He missed the first shot from 12 steps, but when he went to kick the second there was a problem with Mbappé.
A fan criticized that action that was not seen on the television broadcast, and the Brazilian gave it a ‘like’.
“Now it’s official, Mbappé is the one who takes penalties at PSG. Clearly this is a matter of contract, because in no club in the world that has Neymar, he would be the second collector, none! It seems that by contract Mbappé owns PSG !!”, wrote the follower.

According to L’Équipe, a meeting between the two footballers is scheduled for this week and coach Galtier and Campos, the sports director, will participate in it. The intention is to iron out rough edges after what happened in the Parc des Princes. “The desire is to make the order of collection in penalties very clear and that controversies are not transferred to the networks or made public,” stressed the French sports publication.
According to what Francesc Aguilar, one of the chroniclers closest to the daily life of PSG, posted on his Twitter account, this season “the internal relations of the PSG dressing room are going to be complicated. Neymar and Mbappé keep up appearances but they can’t stand each other”. And he added: “They tell me from Paris that the animosity between Mbappé and Neymar is serious. The Brazilian knows that Kylian asked PSG to do without him and he won’t forgive him. Now the thing has gone for more. They are not supported. Serious problem for Galtier”.
The focus is on this dispute and apparently Mbappé’s timing is not the best. In the L’Équipe report they explain that some personal reasons are affecting the French striker.
