Extraordinary footage shows PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe ranting at teammate Achraf Hakimi for poor pass

Posted Saturday, September 10, 2022 by sportbible

Kylian Mbappe slammed Paris Saint-Germain teammate Achraf Hakimi for a poor pass in an extraordinary half-time exchange.

Much has been made of Mbappe's attitude towards his colleagues, with he and Neymar hitting headlines over a penalty disagreement against Lille.

He was also spotted sulking and refusing to run on a counter attack when he didn't receive the ball.

And footage has emerged of a conversation he had with full-back Hakimi, a £51 million signing, last summer.

The clip, from Prime Video, appears to be from last season and shows Hakimi apologising for a misplaced poor he attempted to give to Mbappe.

The World Cup winner accepted the handshake but not the apology, telling Hakimi "It's not enough to be sorry".

This week, there was a bit of a role reversal as Neymar was furious with Mbappe not passing to him in the 2-1 Champions league win over Juventus.

Mbappe struck twice, including a volley scored from a glorious bit of link-up with Neymar at the Parc des Princes.

But Neymar bellowed at the Frenchman in the second half when Mbappe selfish and chose to go alone.

PSG were pushing for a third goal and Mbappe jetted down the right after a pass from Lionel Messi set him free.

He was well in behind but instead of looking to square for Neymar for a tap-in at the far post, he tried to score his hat-trick goal and misfired horribly by putting it wide.

Weston McKennie pulled one back shortly after for Juve, though PSG held on for the win.

Mbappe addressed his relationship with Neymar in a pre-match press conference after recent controversy.

He said: "To talk about Neymar, this is the sixth year, I think we've always had a relationship like this based on respect.

"But we've always had moments like this where sometimes we've had moments that were a bit colder and moments that were a bit hotter.

"There are times, you'll see, when we're the best of friends and sometimes we don't talk so much, it's the nature of our relationship that's like that."
