Mbappe teases Neymar by 'forcing' him to leave trophy celebrations

The Brazilian went down from the stands to the pitch. On the pitch, he did not show any kind of joy on winning the trophy, he picked up his medla and he went to the corner of the group during the celebrations. 

Once his teammates started to celebrate the title they had earned against Rennes (2-1), the Brazilian looked in his own world until Marco Verratti and Kylian Mbappe hugged him affectionately. They celebrated with him and that made Neymar happy. 

Nevertheless, the incident in question came seconds later, when the confetti had stopped falling. All the team had formed, preparing for the official photo with the trophy. 

Neymar was in a corner of the group, spoke to Verratti, who was on the floor, and then Neymar was pulled out of the way by Mbappe and led out of the photo shot. Mbappe took his arm and gave him a little push before getting in the photo himself. 

The Brazilian did not take long to return to the place where his teammates were and lowered his head to be in the photo next to Mbappe and leaning on Verratti's shoulders. 

Given that the three celebrated together before the photo, everything seems to indicate that Mbappe was teasing Neymar because he had not played the game. It is the most logical explanation because the relationship between the pair has always been good. 

And in the end, you could not see him. In the photo published by PSG, Neymar is the only player whose face you cannot see because he was wearing a cap and as he was looking down at the floor, the peak of his cap covered his face.
