Kylian Mbappe: PSG star refused to given Angel Di Maria a penalty in 2019

Kylian Mbappe has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons ever since Paris Saint-Germain‘s 5-2 victory over Montpellier last Saturday.

The French champions scored five goals for the second consecutive Ligue 1 match in 2022/23, with Mbappe bagging one of them.

However, the 23-year-old striker has been heavily criticised for two incidents during the comfortable victory over Montpellier.

The first saw him give up on a counterattack when summer signing Vitinha opted to not pass him the ball. Mbappe even turned his back on the play, with Achraf Hakimi ending the move by dragging a shot wide.

Not a great look, is it?

The second incident actually came slightly earlier on in the first half and it’s since marked the start of a new ‘penaltygate’ at PSG.

Mbappe missed from the spot in the 23rd minute of play versus Montpellier, but demanded to be given the responsibility from 12 yards again when PSG were awarded a second penalty.

Neymar wasn’t having any of it, though…

Kylian Mbappe really had the audacity to ask Neymar to give him the second penalty after he he missed his first one
