Reports suggest that Kylian Mbappe has reignited his feud with Neymar following Paris Saint-Germain's defeat to Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The French side fell to a 1-0 loss in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie, with Kingsley Coman getting on the scoresheet to subject the Parisians to a third consecutive defeat.

After the loss, Lionel Messi, Neymar and other Les Parisiens stars were seen apologising and thanking their fans, who banged their drums and sang their songs all game despite the score, for their support at their home ground.
Mbappe almost rescued the match for his side but his late equaliser was ruled out for offside by the Video Assistant Referee.
In a post-match interview, the France international called upon his teammate to focus ahead of the second leg against Julian Nagelsmann's Bavarians.
"We worked day and night," the 24-year-old said, per the Daily Mirror.
"Our players have to be in good health for the return leg, everyone needs to eat and sleep well.
"They're not comfortable when we play attacking football."
It has now been claimed that those remarks were aimed at Neymar, with the comments coming after it was revealed that the Brazilian had been threatened with legal action by a local mayor due to his reported hardcore party lifestyle, which is disturbing some in the neighbourhood he lives in.
A day after the loss to Bayern and Mbappe's remarks about eating and sleeping well, Neymar was one again criticised for his off-field lifestyle when he went to the European Poker Tour in Paris and was later spotted at a McDonald's in the city.
At the start of the 2022/23 season, it was claimed that Mbappe wanted Neymar sold or he would force an exit just months after signing his lucrative new deal with PSG.
The Brazilian then appeared to "like" social media posts slamming the French striker's attitude and new contract, with a feud reportedly ensuing between the pair, heightened by a penalty-taking debacle one month into the campaign.

With some believing that Mbappe is once again unhappy with Neymar's "lack of professionalism", reports earlier this week suggested that Chelsea are keen to sign the Selecao talisman in the next transfer window and have already met with PSG to discuss a move.
