JAKARTA - Neymar Jr was caught giving a sign of liking for a tweet that criticized Kylian Mbappe's decision to take a penalty when Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won 5-2 over Montpellier, Saturday, August 13, 2022.

At that time, Mbappe failed to carry out his duties properly. The ball was successfully blocked by Montpellier goalkeeper Jonas Omlin.

After the match, Mbappe became a "shooting target" on social media. Criticism was directed at the French national team player because actually the task of being the penalty taker belongs to Neymar.

The Brazilian player also seems annoyed with the decision of coach Christophe Galtier who prefers to appoint Mbappe as the first executioner. This is indicated by the likes given to the tweet that cornered Mbappe.

"Now it's official, Mbappe is the first to take a penalty at PSG," the first tweet discussing Galtier's decision.

"Obviously it's a contract, because no club in the world has Neymar and makes him second, nobody!!" another account tweet.

Then another commented, "Today, in a PSG game, Neymar scored and embarrassed the goalkeeper (once again) in a penalty kick. Mbappe, on the other hand, kicked really badly and missed."

Neymar's distaste was also apparent in his celebration after scoring a goal against Montpellier. He has a mocking style that some believe is aimed at Mbappe.

There were signs of division. The reason, Mbappe did not participate in celebrating the goal scored by Neymar. In addition, the two were reportedly involved in a feud in the locker room.
