At the Parc De Prince in the weekend, the Parisans ran out 3-1 winners over Marseille. Mbappe opened up the scoring before Di Maria added a brace. The team continues to deliver despite the absence of Neymar.

However, there was a minor controversy after Mbappe was brought down in the box. Normally, when a player has scored two goals, on course for a hattrick, it's expected that he will be allowed to take any awarded penalty so he could have hits hattrick. On this case, Mbappe refused to allow Maria take it. What's even worse, he took the penalty and had it saved by Steve Mandanda.

Fans of the club didn't take it lightly and they took to social media to air their disappointment. Some even suggested that pride was beginning to creep into the player's mentality.
