In their most recent outing, the pair linked up yet again. However, their connection could not yield the final desired result against Troyes.
In one of their link-ups, Neymar went on a breathtaking run, ghosting past the Troyes defence with his sublime dribbling skill before setting up Mbappe in a 1-v-1 situation with the goalkeeper.
Unfortunately, the mazy run by Neymar did not end in a goal as Mbappe's effort was parried by Gauthier Gallon in goal for Troyes.
Lionel Messi starred with a goal and an assist as all of Paris Saint-Germain's front three scored in a 4-3 victory over Troyes on Saturday, which restored their five-point advantage at the top of Ligue 1.
The league leaders responded to second-placed Lens' win over Toulouse on Friday by twice coming from behind, to see off a spirited Troyes at Le Parc des Princes.
