KYLIAN Mbappe did not take it well when he was substituted last week as Paris Saint-Germain coasted to a 2-0 win over Montpellier.

What riled up Mbappe was that his replacement Julian Draxler scored off an assist from Neymar.

That left Mbappe fuming and was heard on camera saying "That tramp doesn't pass to me."

The Frenchman, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was angered because the Brazilian could pick out Draxler but not him.

It must be said though Mbappe failed to take advantage of three goalscoring opportunities and has now gone four games without a goal.

Gigio Donnarumma is another unhappy one at PSG as his playing time in Paris has been limited.

He is playing second fiddle to Keylor Navas and has only played twice in 10 games so far this season.though he was in goal as PSG dumped Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Juventus are still interested in signing the former Milan shot-stopper who joined the Ligue 1 giants on a free transfer in the summer.

Manager Mauticio Pochettino has poured cold water on claims there are hostilities between Neymar and Mbappe insisting the spat was simply a "small incident" between two highly-driven professionals.

Pochettino says he has spoken to both players who have also spoken to each other and resolved their issues.

The manager insists it's a minor matter and "really nothing". - Agencies, October 1, 2021
