The film of the match of the first day of the Champions League between PSG and Juve (2-1), entitled “Get on the train”, focuses in particular on the relationship between Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. With a striking scene between the Brazilian and the Parisian sports director Luis Campos.
He was not happy despite the victory of PSG against Juve, for his entry into the running in this new Champions League campaign on Tuesday: Neymar left the meeting frustrated, by the scenario as much as by actions which left hungry… for goals. In the film “Get on the train”, dedicated by RMC Sport to this meeting, an image marks the spirits. It is that of the Brazilian, at the end of the match, pushing back a Luis Campos who wanted to congratulate him.

The former Barça player, Juve jersey on his right shoulder after the traditional exchange of the final whistle, went to the locker room. He did not come to greet the public at the Parc des Princes with his teammates after the match, to thank them for the fiery atmosphere throughout the match.
A voluntary gesture?
Did he really want to snub the Parisian sports director, the new strongman in the organization chart in charge of the team? Did he see in him the symbol of the Mbappé clan which, since the extension of the world champion, has taken the upper hand over the club? Impossible to decide. He himself would probably not say so. But other images, other events, come to accredit this hypothesis.
In particular this clear opportunity on which Mbappé completely forgot Neymar, yet alone, to try his luck in an impossible angle. 3-0 ball wasted in the 51st minute. As a penalty, the Turinese reduced the gap just behind, to scare the Parisians until the end of the meeting. And the memories of the penaltygate between the two men to resurface. Be careful not to maintain tensions that could bring a little bitter taste in a few months.
