Paris Saint Germain stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have not seen eye to eye for some time now and their rocky relationship has had a negative impact on the rest of the squad. PSG have taken formal action to address the chemistry issues within the squad amid the ongoing feud between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. Mbappe snubbed a transfer deal to Real Madrid and signed a new 3-year contract with the French capital giants but he has cut a frustrated figure at Parc des Princes in the early weeks of the 2022-23 season. He believes that he deserves more respect in the dressing room and he has taken out his frustrations on Neymar whose influence appears to be on the rise. A penalty dispute recently took the shattered relationship between players public forcing the club to hold a meeting asking their internal differences to remain behind closed doors and they further asked Mbappe and Neymar to at least play nice in public.
 

During PSG's 5-2 win over Montpellier the past weekend, the tension between Mbappe and Neymar was clear to the club supporters across the world. The game saw Neymar net a brace while Mbappe scored his first goal of the season. Mbappe also missed a penalty during the match and Neymar dismissed his attempts to make amends as he stepped up to score his second goal from the spot in the second half. Senior officials at PSG responded to the feud by asking the players to bury the hatchet and learn to co-exist for the good of the team. The discussion was carried out in the presence of the entire squad with all the players strictly asked to maintain good relationships with each other, especially during match days as a result of increased media scrutiny. 

As PSG regained the Ligue 1 title last season, Mbappe was the main top scorer for the team. He is now sharing the spotlight with both superstar Lionel Messi and Neymar and he might be frustrated that his leadership role has not grown despite snubbing Spanish capital giants Real Madrid for PSG. Paris Saint Germain are still determined to make sure that Mbappe feels valued in a fair reflection of his lofty stature, but they have also made it clear that he cannot force that standing onto his teammates in rash displays of brute force. The club is further aware that Mbappe's comment that CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying was weaker than the European equivalent,  UEFA World Cup qualifying, a comment that did not go down well with his South American colleagues. Messi is the star and captain of Argentina while Neymar is the main man of Brazil whose head coach Tite issued a fierce response to Mbappe's claims earlier this week as he insisted "we don't have Azerbaijan to play" in reference to the standard of teams that France had to face in their journey to the qualification of the FIFA 2022 Qatar World Cup. 

Mbappe possesses some veto powers at the club ever since he signed a new contract at Parc de Princes. It now appears that Neymar would be the first to feel those powers as it is reported that Mbappe has decided that the club only has room for himself, alongside either Lionel Messi or Neymar. The Brazilian forward looks set to draw the shorter straw as his relationship with Mbappe has broken down. The World Cup winner reportedly wants to learn what he can from Messi and sees him as the most vital member of the squad at the moment. While Neymar was also meant to serve a similar goal, it seems like the golden boy of French football is done with the Brazilian.
