Kylian Mbappe has responded to Neymar's claims that he was "jealous" of Lionel Messi during their time together at Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar had suggested that their relationship soured when Messi joined PSG, claiming Mbappe's attitude changed. However, Mbappe, now at Real Madrid, dismissed these allegations.
Speaking to TNT Sports Brazil, Mbappe stated that he was focused on his current career and had no intention of fueling any negativity. He expressed respect for Neymar and refrained from getting into further details, emphasizing their positive moments together at PSG. Mbappe added, "I could talk about Neymar many times, but I prefer to keep it positive."
Neymar, who now plays for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, previously indicated that Mbappe's attitude shifted after Messi’s arrival, suggesting that there was some tension between the two. Mbappe’s more diplomatic response came as he is preparing for a Champions League clash with RB Salzburg, where Real Madrid needs a win to advance to the knockout stages.
