Brazilian superstar Neymar has revealed that his former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe became “jealous” of his close relationship with Lionel Messi.

The tension, Neymar claims, stemmed from Mbappe’s insecurity when Messi joined the French club in 2021.

Speaking on a podcast hosted by Brazilian legend Romario, Neymar reflected on the complicated dynamics between the three stars during their time together at PSG. Despite initial camaraderie,

Neymar admitted that he and Mbappe clashed, citing a “little fight” between them.

Neymar praised Mbappe’s early contributions to the team, saying he was “fundamental” and that he had always supported and encouraged the young French striker. However, Neymar believes that Mbappe’s behavior changed dramatically with Messi’s arrival.

Messi and Neymar had previously played together at Barcelona from 2013 to 2017, forging a strong bond. Neymar suggested that Mbappe felt threatened by their pre-existing relationship, leading to tension within the team.

The revelation sheds light on the challenges faced by PSG in integrating three of the world’s top players into a cohesive unit. Despite their individual brilliance, the trio struggled to gel, and the team’s performances suffered as a result.
