A new dressing room row could be set to erupt at PSG after Kylian Mbappe was allegedly caught on camera insulting teammate Neymar.
The incident occurred during PSG’s 2-0 win over Montpellier at Parc des Princes on Saturday evening.

Mbappe was substituted in the 88th minute for Julian Draxler and, immediately after coming off, Neymar set up the German to score PSG’s second goal.
This irritated Mbappe who, earlier in the second half, should have had an easy tap-in at the back post only for Neymar to not pass him the ball.
After seeing Draxler score, Mbappe turned to Idrissa Gueye and started complaining.

According to Marca, Mbappe uttered the words: “The tramp [Neymar] didn’t pass the ball to me.”
Mbappe is said to have called Neymar a ‘clochard’, which in England translates to homeless person, beggar, vagrant or tramp.
This is the last thing that PSG want as there has already been a string of dressing room incidents this season.
WHO ARE THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS IN THE WORLD?
Mbappe himself tried to quit the club this season in order to push a move through to Real Madrid. He is expected to now move on a Bosman transfer next summer.
PSG’s big summer arrival, Lionel Messi, refused to shake the hand of manager Mauricio Pochettino when he was substituted against Lyon last week.
Meanwhile, it is widely reported that new goalkeeping signing Gigi Donnarumma is unhappy at having to play second fiddle to Keylor Navas between the sticks.
It remains to be seen whether this latest incident involving Mbappe will lead to any ongoing tension with Neymar.
The pair will next be in action in midweek in the Champions League against Manchester City on Tuesday in France.
PSG started their Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge.
