Paris Saint-Germain clinched an easy 5-2 win over HSC Montpellier in Ligue 1 on Saturday night. The top stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar each entered the top scorer list. After the game there is still trouble with the two in the center. The setting is the World Wide Web.
More precisely, the spectacle takes place on Twitter. A user named ‘Neymargiabr’ complained that Neymar is not the first penalty taker at PSG. Although the Brazilian sank from eleven meters on Saturday night, he was only allowed to play after Mbappe missed a penalty in the first half. The user takes this as an opportunity for biting criticism of the French. It is obvious that Mbappe had a contractual guarantee that he would take penalties. After all, there is no club in the world that would voluntarily refrain from letting Neymar shoot.
Treacherous Like?
Such tweets could now be dismissed as customary, especially when looking at the user name and the probable place of origin of the critical Twitter user. However, it has not gone unnoticed by journalists in France, Brazil and elsewhere that among the more than 21,000 likes for the ‘Neymargiabr’ tweet was the account of superstar Neymar himself. Apparently, the 30-year-old has his problems with the fact that he is not the first choice for penalties. Taking it out on social media adds a bit of a whimsical twist. In essence, however, it is about one thing that is quite controversial: did PSG give Mbappe too much power as part of his contract extension, which came as quite a surprise? And how is that received in a star ensemble in which almost every professional claims to be an alpha animal?
