    Neymar and Mbappe played together on 136 occasions for PSG and combined for 54 goals between 2017 and 2023.

    'IT WAS HELL'

    According to journalist Cyril Hanouna, Neymar contacted Madrid's Brazilian contingent and warned them about Mbappe.

    On Europe 1, Hanouna said: “The Brazilians [at Real Madrid] are friends with Neymar. It has always been a war between Neymar and Mbappe. Neymar has sent a paper about Mbappe to the Brazilians, telling them that it was catastrophic, that it was hell."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The two have reportedly been on frosty terms for quite some time, with Mbappe admitting in September 2022 that his relationship with Neymar at PSG was "hot and cold". It appears relations have not improved since then, despite them now being on different continents.
