Kylian Mbappe, not Neymar, is PSG's star after incredible World Cup with France

The respective ways in which Neymar and Kylian Mbappe returned to Paris Saint-Germain after the World Cup spoke volumes about how they will be viewed this season.

The world's most expensive player, Neymar, joined his teammates in China for the Trophee des Champions against Monaco. But there was no hero's welcome for the Brazilian. In fact, it was all rather quiet as he made an appearance off the bench in an easy 4-0 win.

In contrast, Mbappe linked up with the team back in Paris a few days later and did it like a boss.
