Galtier holding talks with Mbappe and Neymar over on-pitch contretemps

Although the Parisians forward started the new season in fine form, their relationship seems to have faced intense scrutiny. The latest twist to their story happened in their Tuesday Champions League victory.

Paris Saint-Germain

started

Ligue 1

season in great fashion, winning five games and drawing one while scoring 24 goals and conceding only four. They had a good start to the

Champions League

as well with a 2-1 victory over

Juventus

.

However, the relationship of PSG's superstars,

Kylian Mbappe

and

Neymar

has again come under the microscope after Neymar's upset reaction to Mbappe ignoring to pass him for a likely tap-in. Mbappe faced criticism earlier in the season for his actions during the 5-2 win over

Montpellier

, which included a public argument with Neymar.

The PSG head coach

Christophe Galtier

said on Friday:

"The relationship is very good. That is the truth. They are often together in training.

 

"Yes, there is a situation in a match, but having spoken to Kylian Mbappe yesterday – and I have also spoken to Ney – but from the discussion with Kylian Mbappe there were two moments: there was the first acceleration when there was possibly a chance to pass the ball but it was more difficult, and the second time was when Kylian Mbappe got into the box and did not see Ney.

"When you see the clip it looks simple, but at the time he had to make a decision. Kylian Mbappe was focused on the ball for shooting. I am convinced that Kylian Mbappe will get assists for Neymar, just as Neymar is capable of performing assists for Kylian Mbappe.

"There is nothing else negative about that since that piece of play in the game."

Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League trip to

Maccabi Haifa

, the french coach was asked whether he could consider resting all three of his star forwards in their Saturday Ligue 1 game against

Brest

. Although PSG's boss firmly responded “No!”, he admitted he will consider resting one of them.
