Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has responded to Neymar ’s comments that the Frenchman, who moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Los Blancos in the summer, became ‘jealous’ following Lionel Messi ’s move to the French capital. In the infancy of his 308-game stint in Paris, Mbappe was the poster boy of the club and had the world at his feet, scoring goals as if they were going out of fashion. All in all, the one-time World Cup winner netted 256 strikes in all competitions.
Linking up with Neymar was a dream come true, and the pair struck an unforgettable partnership in the French outfit’s forward line in their six-year stint together. But Neymar insisted that things turned sour upon the addition of Messi. GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Mbappe is Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time top goalscorer, having notched 256 goals in 308 appearances.
The diminutive Argentine, now plying his trade for Inter Miami, followed in the same footsteps as Neymar and swapped Barcelona for PSG in the summer of 2021 and, given his pre-existing relationship with the forward, instantly hit it off and became the centre of attention. Paris Saint-Germain have paid eye-watering sums of money to star players since their takeover in 2011. According to Neymar, that didn’t sit well with Mbappe.
Speaking on a podcast hosted by Brazil cult hero Romario, the now-Al-Hilal winger said that Messi’s arrival made France’s third all-time top goalscorer jealous of his and Messi's instant connection. No, [Kylian] .
