10 points ahead of everybody, and yet, nobody is happy. Messi is not happy with Pochettino, and Mbappe is not happy with Neymar. PSG are in a comfortable lead in Ligue 1, but generally speaking, their performances are not so good, despite all the wins they have. Not to mention that so far, they had only average/below average teams against them, and yet, they didn’t show that power and effectiveness which is expected from the best attacking trio in the world: Messi, Neymar, Mbappe.Paris struggle but still claim a narrow win against Montpellier thanks to a terrific strike from GueyeAnd the French international has every reason to be disillusioned, as he was denied a transfer to Real Madrid on the deadline day. So far Mbappe has kept a low profile, not commenting on the Real link, and the possibility of leaving the club as a free agent, but his on the field behavior shows that he is indeed distracted. During the game with Montpellier, which PSG won 2-0 (but scored the second goal in the 89th minute), Mbappe had three clear chances to score but failed with each of them, and is now in crisis, as he failed to score in four games, which is his worst streak of shots without scoring (13) since September 2019.Du coup #Giroud disait la même chose plus poliment en équipe de France 🇫🇷 Mais lui a sauté Là #Mbappé traite #Neymar de sale chien ou sale clochard et ça passe crème Redescends gars ! #PSGMHSC #PSG #Paris pic.twitter.com/vdZxJ6gaMA— 𝐌onsieur 14 (@Monsieur14_) September 26, 2021 Right after he was substituted, Julian Draxler scored the second goal after a Neymar assist, which annoyed Mbappe. In footage captured by Canal+, Mbappe was caught talking to his teammate Idrissa Gueye on the bench about Neymar, saying: “yes, yes, he doesn’t give the pass to me”.The Frenchman’s attitude has been questioned in recent weeks after Metz coach Frederic Anotenetti accused him of a lack of humility. That came following PSG’s dramatic late winner, which saw Mbappe celebrate in the face of goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja. What will happen in the PSG locker room when Neymar sees the reports remains to be seen. But for all of them, winning against Manchester City in the Champions League would be the best remedy.
