Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fans have accused Kylian Mbappe of being selfish after failing to pass to Lionel Messi in their Ligue 1 game against Strasbourg. The incident took place moments before they conceded a late equalizer as the game ended 3-3....CONTINUE READING
The Ligue 1 champions were moments away from securing another league victory away at Strasbourg. However, a 92nd minute strike from Anthony Caci meant the Parisians were forced to settle for a point.
PSG were initially stunned by an early opener from the hosts. Then a Mbappe brace and a goal from Achraf Hakimi looked to have secured Mauricio Pochettino’s side their 25th top-flight victory of the season.
However, a Marco Veratti own goal 15 minutes from time gave Strasbourg hope. Mbappe later found himself one-on-one with the keeper in injury time and had the chance to kill the game.
The French superstar also had Messi open to his right-hand side, who would have had a tap-in if he had passed to the Argentine. Mbappe instead went for goal himself and fired wildly over.
That decision cost his side, as the hosts equalized moments later to conclude a thrilling encounter. PSG fans, though, were raging at their 23-year-old forward for not passing to Messi. They took to Twitter to vent their frustrations and here are some of their reactions:
Pochettino believes he and Mbappe will be at PSG alongside Messi next season

The Argentine manager suffered an incredibly disappointing campaign in the Champions League this season. PSG threw away a two-goal lead within 18 minutes against Real Madrid in their last 16 knockout tie in March.
