PSG fans urge superstar player to 'behave himself' ahead of crucial Ligue 1 clash against Lyon

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans are concerned about Kylian Mbappe's inclusion in the starting lineup for their Ligue 1 clash against Lyon today (September 18). They have expressed on Twitter that the Frenchman will be up to his old selfish antics and not link up well with Messi upon receiving an attacking opportunity.

The 2018 World Cup winner has been accused of being selfish this season, after missing out on several opportunities to pass to Lionel Messi. The Frenchman has often decided to take on the shot, in the process squandering the opportunity, rather than pass to the Argentine.

While Messi has racked up an impressive seven assists in seven games, his French teammate has not managed one, much to the ire of the fans.

PSG fans did not mince words when they took to Twitter to react to the starting lineup for their away clash against Lyon. They called on Mbappe to pass to the Argentine when the opportunity arose.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Parc des Princes faithful:


Lionel Messi and the attacking trident will hope to guide PSG to victory against Lyon in Ligue 1 clash

Paris Saint-Germain will look to regain top spot in the French top flight in their match against Lyon today. The Parisians head into the match in impervious form and have won their last five games on the bounce in all competitions.

PSG will not expect a warm welcome from their hosts today, with Lyon currently unbeaten on their turf in their last eight games. The hosts will hope that returning hero Alexandre Lacazette can help them avoid defeat at the hands of their formidable guests.

Les Parisiens come into the match in fine form and have been dominant all season long.

Brazilian forward Neymar has been in fantastic form and has already bagged eight goals and six assists in seven league matches this season.

Kylian Mbappe can also boast seven league strikes to his name. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi completes the dynamic trio with three goals and seven assists in just seven games.

Christophe Galtier’s men will be expected to secure a comfortable win today despite being on the road.

Lyon will hope they can give a good account of themselves and avoid defeat at the hands of the league leaders today. PSG, on the other hand, will hope they can stamp their authority on proceedings by bagging a win against one of the strongest teams in the division.
