For Neymar, Kylian Mbappé became “jealous” of his relationship with Lionel Messi when the Argentinian arrived at PSG in 2021, forming a trio of stars who did not escape the problems of«ego»he said Thursday in an interview with Romario. Returning to his relationship with Mbappé, Neymar admitted to having had “problems with him” in an interview on the Youtube channel of the former Brazilian glory.

“We had a bit of a falling out, but he’s a guy who, at the beginning, when he arrived, was essential. I always told him, I joked with him, that he was going to be one of the best, I always helped him, I talked with him. He came to my house, we went to dinner together”said Neymar. “We had a good few years together, but when Messi came I think he got a little jealous” of the special relationship that the two former partners in Barcelona had. “He didn’t want to share me with anyone and that’s when the arguments started, his behavior changed,” continued the 32-year-old Brazilian, who left PSG for Saudi club Al-Hilal in 2023.

Neymar also considered that a lack of team spirit prevented PSG from fully realizing their potential and winning the Champions League. “You have to realize that you don’t play alone. You have to have the others on your side: 'I'm the best, OK', but who's going to give you the ball? You have to have good players who give you the ball.tried to explain the one who was often accused of individualism on the ground. “It was everyone's egos…so it couldn't work. Today, if no one runs, if no one helps each other, it is impossible to win“, he estimated. Since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Neymar has suffered new injuries and has played very little. If he says he is happy at Al-Hilal, his contract ends in June and “in six months, everything can change,” he pointed out.
