Kylian Mbappé's personal problems are affecting his performance in the pitch

Saturday's match against Montpellier was not Kylian Mbappé's best night. Despite being involved in two goals for his team (the first one of his own by Sacko and the second on an unorthodox finish from a corner), the striker experienced an intense night in every sense. He missed a penalty in the first half, did not look comfortable in Galtier's new system and had two 'arguments' with two teammates.

The first came just after missing the penalty. In a set piece, Vitinha did not pass him the ball when he was alone on the left flank and Mbappé did not want to follow the play, remaining, for ten seconds, standing and frowning to the surprise of many. Moments later, Marquinhos, the team’s captain, reproached him for the action and the two had a small argument over the fact that he had not followed the play.

The second was with Neymar. The Brazilian decided to take the second penalty of the night and Mbappé wanted to redeem himself for his mistake. However, his teammate did not give him the kick and Mbappé finally did not take the penalty, looking unfriendly moments after the kick. To make matters worse, ‘Ney’ gave two likes on Twitter to two posts that complained about Mbappé being the main penalty taker and even called him the 'owner' of the club.

Mbappé is bringing personal problems to the field

According to various French media, Mbappé played this Saturday against Montpellier in the midst of several personal problems. They blame them for his performance, as well as his fitness, as the striker had missed the first two games of the season. He was the first of the magic trio to be substituted and his coach, Christophe Galtier, acknowledged that his performance was not a problem because he is a born competitor. Next Sunday, against Lille, Mbappé will have a chance to redeem himself after a somewhat insipid night at the Parc des Princes.
