Kylian Mbappe appeared to throw a strop on the pitch after new Paris Saint-Germain team-mate
Newsonline report that Vitinha snubbed him in favour of Lionel Messi in the Ligue 1’s thumping 5-2 win over Montpellier on Saturday evening. The French superstar eventually got himself on the scoresheet following an evening of frustration which saw him squander a spot-kick and gesticulate towards Vitinha.
The 23-year-old, who snubbed a mega-money move to Real Madrid in favour of penning a lucrative new contract in the French capital, cut a frustrated figure in PSG’s second Ligue 1 outing of the season. Mbappe was handed the perfect opportunity to get his season up and running with just 23 minutes on the clock after Montpellier’s Jordan Ferri was adjudged to have handled in his own penalty area by VAR.
However, the World Cup winner was spectacularly denied by Montpellier stopper Jonas Omlin. Mbappe would make amends just 16 minutes later though, as his low-drilled cross was turned into his own net by Falaye Sacko.

Not that his goal involvement appeared to lift his mood – a surly-looking Mbappe refused to celebrate or even crack a smile. When PSG were awarded a second spot-kick of the night, the forward was then a mere spectator as Neymar stepped up to coolly slot home his side’ss second of the match a matter of minutes before half-time.
