Neymar opens up on relationship with Mbappe at PSG – ‘When Messi came, he felt displaced’ | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappe’s adaptation at Real Madrid was always an interesting topic of discussion, especially given that he would have to share the spotlight with Vinicius Jr who was already the club’s protagonist.

However, it was not the first time Mbappe had to share the spotlights with equal or better players as he was part of the same dressing room as Neymar and Lionel Messi during his time at Paris Saint-Germain.

Speaking in a recent conversation on Romario TV via SPORT, Barcelona legend and former PSG superstar Neymar Jr spoke on his time in France, and in the process revealed some interesting facts about Kylian Mbappe.

To begin with, he revealed that the new Real Madrid star felt threatened by the arrival of Lionel Messi to the club and did not want to ‘share’ Neymar with him.

“I think he felt displaced, he didn’t want to share me with anyone,” he said on Mbappe’s reaction to Messi’s arrival.

Diving deeper into the topic, he compared the Frenchman’s attitude before the Argentine star’s arrival and that after it.

“I have my things with him. We had a little fight. At first, when I arrived, Mbappe was fundamental for the team. I called him Golden Boy and joked that he would be one of the best in the world.”

“I always helped him. We had good years of companionship. Then, when Messi came, I think he felt displaced. He didn’t want to share myself with anyone. He totally changed and the fights began,” he added.
