After letting Neymar take a penalty against Monaco on Sunday, PSG coach Christophe Galtier has praised Kylian Mbappe for his attitude.
Galtier had stated that Mbappe is his first choice penalty taker after the pair spat about kicks against Montpellier earlier this season, but despite rumours of tension in the locker room, they cooperated in the most recent Ligue 1 game.
PSG got a penalty when they were a goal down to Monaco, and Mbappe allowed Neymar play the resulting spotkick.
Neymar then equalized from the penalty spot for Paris Saint-Germain with the game ending one goal apiece.

What Did Galtier Say About Mbappe?
“The hierarchy has been well established: it’s Kylian one and Neymar two [for penalties],” Galtier said after the game.
“But there is the reality of the match and the moment I saw that they exchanged and that he made the decision to take it after discussing with Kylian.
“I appreciated the attitude of Kylian to have congratulated him and that of Neymar to have thanked him. They are great players and it is also up to them to decide what it is based on how they feel.
“The most important thing is that Neymar asked him [nicely] and that Kylian came to congratulate him.”
