Mbappé alludes to penalty taking problems at PSG
After Sunday's home game against Lyon, Mbappe's comments insinuated that there was an issue between Neymar and Cavani over spot-kick takers.
The apparent bad blood between Neymar and Edinson Cavani over penalty taking duty at PSG has dominated the headlines in French media following the images from Parc del Princes on Sunday. It appeared that Neymar with support from compatriot Dani Alves was anxious to take the late penalty despite the Uruguayan international being the designated taker at the club with both players grappling for control of the match-ball.
Mbappe chimes in
New French record signing international Kylian Mbappé was asked for his opinion post match about the Cavani penalty miss and the 18 year old claimed: "He missed the kick, sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes no. He was annoyed afterwards, he's a great player and will score plenty of goals in the future".
The former Monaco's player subsequent comment was a little more revealing when asled if he would like to be the designated penalty taker. The PSG player laughed and added: "No, that just poses problems". A comment which indeed points to work ahead for Unai Emery to resolve in the Parisian dressing room.
