Hoping to extend their perfect start to the season, the Parisians hosted Monaco at the Parc des Princes on Sunday. The visitors opened the scoring through Kevin Volland in the 20th minute, putting pressure on Christophe Galtier’s side. Neymar converted a penalty for a foul on himself in the 70th minute to level proceedings.
Mbappe started the match alongside the Brazilian, hitting the woodwork once from a total of nine shots. The 23-year-old striker, who scored a hat-trick in his previous outing, was kept quiet throughout the contest by the defensive partnership of Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile.
Speaking after the game, Riolo hit out at Mbappe and Neymar. Analysing the Frenchman’s performance, he said (via Planete PSG):
He continued:
While Mbappe has netted four times in three league games, Neymar has registered six goals and as many assists in Ligue 1 this season.
Earlier, both players were embroiled in a ‘penaltygate’ incident after the former Barcelona man snubbed Mbappe from penalty duty during the Parisians’ 5-2 win over Montpellier on August 14.
PSG, who are atop the Ligue 1 standings with ten points from four games, will next lock horns with Toulouse on Wednesday (August 31).
