The divide between Neymar and Kylian Mbappé could split PSG in two

Neymar has been in scintillating form for PSG so far this season. The only problem is key man Kylian Mbappé wants him gone

In the 89th minute, Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the field. PSG were playing Nantes at the Parc des Princes on the final day of the 2015-16 season and the game was halted as his children ran on to the pitch wearing shirts with the words “king” and “legend” printed on the back. Ibrahimovic received a standing ovation as he waved to the crowd and sauntered off. No substitution was made. PSG played on with 10 men.

Ibrahimovic had become a PSG great during his four seasons in France but, even by his standards, it was an ostentatious display of power and ego, and perhaps the pinnacle of PSG pandering to their star players during the QSI era. There was no doubt who ruled the dressing room. Now, after a relatively harmonious period, another split is forming between two players with Zlatan-esque influence, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.
