Ney chance of glory until they sell him

-

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN need to go down the Liverpool or Manchester City route when it comes to recruitmen­t if they want to win the Champions League.

Because it’s not going to happen with Neymar in the side and, while I’ll give him a pass for now, it might not happen with Kylian Mbappe, either. Even when losing the game, Neymar made it all about himself.

It was all: ‘Oh, the camera is on me, how much am I going to cry?’ And: ‘I’m going to walk past the trophy and touch it.’

I’d get rid of him now if I was in charge of PSG.

As for Mbappe, he needs to get his head down, because he’s sailing close to the wind in terms of becoming a bit of a prima donna.

His body language post-match on Sunday, when he was holding court and shrugging his shoulders, is completely at odds with the way Kevin De Bruyne, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-arnold behave when they are interviewe­d.

They all have a winner’s mentality but they also have a nice deference about them which says: ‘I still have plenty to do, I haven’t arrived yet’.

Mbappe looks now as if he thinks he has arrived with bells and whistles and is the heir apparent to the great strikers.

He’s in the French League... there’s a long way to go yet.

HARRY MAGUIRE hasn’t exactly got a rap sheet as long as your arm.

So he needs a good, stern talking-to by his manager over the alleged events in Mykonos and then it’s “as you were”.

He’s fundamenta­lly a good kid who deserves to get the benefit of the doubt.
