Tensions between Paris Saint Germain superstars Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are boiling after a row over who takes penalties emerged at the weekend.

When Mbappe recently snubbed Real Madrid and decided to sign a three-year contract extension at the Parc des Princes, however, it was reported that the 23-year-old was handed carte blanche and would effectively act as an informal sporting director able to make suggestions on who should be appointed and dismissed.
With ex-sporting director Leonardo and first team coach Mauricio Pochettino already shown the exit door, it was said that Mbappe also requested that Neymar be sold.
This hasn't come to fruition yet with the current transfer window closing on September 1, but the two appear to be on a collision course due to events that occurred during and after PSG's 5-2 home win over Montpellier where both players scored.
At one point in the tie, Mbappe stepped up to take a spot kick while appearing to have succeeded Neymar as PSG's penalty taker.
Missing with his attempt, he then insisted on snatching away a second from Neymar who refused to entertain his request and converted on his way to an eventual brace.
