Neymar exploded against Mbappé after he refused to pass him the ball in a clear chance on goal.

PSG won 2-1 against Juventus on the first Champions League match of the season thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé and started their European campaign in the best way possible. The Parisian team won at the Parc des Princes and, although they showed two sides of their performance (one in each half), they proved that they are serious candidates for the title.

It took just five minutes for the French champions to take the lead. It was a great collective action that found its breakthrough when Mbappé teamed up with Neymar on the left flank and took a diagonal run into the box while the Brazilian took just the right amount of time to improvise a perfect aerial pass for Kylian to volley the ball in.

Mbappe's last action in which he demonstrates his bad relationship with Neymar

To prove that this goal was no coincidence, the home side quickly got their second. This time it was through a partnership on the right between Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi. The winger was the one who gave the final pass for Mbappé to cross the shot to make it 2-0.

However, Mbappé showed his selfishness in a clear chance to pass it to Neymar to make it 3-0. The Frenchman chose to look for the hat trick himself and missed the chance badly. Neymar exploded against him and could not believe that Mbappé did not return him the favor.

PSG should not have suffered against Juventus

Galtier tried several changes, even Lionel Messi, who had a discreet performance, came off the bench to bring on Soler, but the team never came close to the version it had in the first half hour of the game. Juventus, on the other hand, had two clear chances to tie the score, but Donnarumma saved the game for PSG. In this way Mbappé’s selfishness caused PSG to suffer in a match that should have been a resounding victory.
