The French sensation was on the scoresheet as PSG came from a goal behind to beat Keagan Dolly's Montpellier 3-1 on Saturday.

However, it was not all rosy as Mbappe snubbed Thomas Tuchel's handshake after being taken off in the 90th minute for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

The German coach, though, has since downplayed the incident, which many compared to Ronaldo's recent reaction to being substituted by Maurizio Sarri.

"Mbappe never wants to be substituted – it's understandable, and it's quite obvious," Tuchel said, as quoted by AS.

"He didn't want to be taken off in the Nantes games and he didn't want to come off today.

"On 90 minutes, I decided to take him off, but now it's all been forgotten about. It was my decision.

"Choupo deserved to play – we need to respect that and that is in line with the decisions I take. Mbappe isn't happy when he's substituted, but it's no big deal."
