Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have admitted their regret that their on-field chemistry with Lionel Messi has only started to bloom recently.
On Saturday, Mbappe and Neymar netted a hat-trick each as PSG thrashed Clermont Foot 6-1 in Ligue 1. Although he failed to score, Messi was instrumental in the victory, laying on three assists for his teammates.
Speaking to Canal Plus France after the game, Mbappe said, "The connection on the field with Messi and Neymar, it's a shame it's only happening now.
"But we feel that we’re three quality players, and we trying to help the team as much as possible and that’s what happened today.
"That’s life, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, you have to keep looking forward. It’s in the past now. We had some pain, which is still present but you need to keep positive, we have to show that we’re a big club and a big team and that we’re here to win trophies."
Mbappe's attacking partner Neymar also admitted regret at the famous trio's partnership only starting to flourish at the end of the season.
Neymar said, "First of all I’m very happy to have won tonight. I’m also happy to have scored three goals. We’re getting better and better.
Kylian Mbappe has revealed his regret that any chemistry between himself, Neymar and Lionel Messi is only starting to show so late in the Ligue 1 season.
In their last two league games alone, Paris Saint-Germain's trio of attacking superstars have managed 11 goals and eight assists between them as they finally appear to have caught fire together. Mauricio Pochettino's side look set to cruise to another league title, which will offer some kind of consolation for their dismal showing on the European stage this season.
Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have expressed disappointment that their on-field connection with Lionel Messi has only lately begun to blossoms.
PSG beat Clermont Foot 6-1 on Saturday, with Mbappe and Neymar both scoring a hat-trick. Messi was important in the triumph, laying on three assists for his teammates despite failing to score.
Mbappe said after the game to Canal Plus France, " "It's a shame Messi and Neymar have just recently formed a bond on the field.
"But we think we're three good players, and we're trying to help the squad as much as we can, which is exactly what occurred today.
"That's life; you win some times and lose some; you just have to keep moving forward. It's no longer relevant. We had some discomfort, which is still present, but we must remain positive; we must demonstrate that we are a major club and a major team, and that we are here to win championships."
Neymar, Mbappe's offensive partner, expressed remorse at the renowned trio's partnership only blossoming at the conclusion of the season.
