Neymar opens up about playing with Kylian Mbappe, warns Real Madrid's brazilians

Neymar has opened up about his challenging time playing alongside Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain, revealing it was often “hell” to work with the French star. In what seems like a candid warning, Neymar has reportedly reached out to his Brazilian compatriots at Real Madrid, advising them to be wary of the dynamics with Mbappe.

From 2017 to 2023, Neymar and Mbappe shared the pitch 136 times for PSG, combining for an impressive 54 goals. Despite their on-field success, tensions between the two have long been speculated. Neymar has reportedly warned Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Eder Militao, Real Madrid’s Brazilian stars, that playing with Mbappe could be “catastrophic” at times, according to journalist Cyril Hanouna.

Hanouna shared on Europe 1, “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” as quoted by Goal.com.

While Neymar has moved on to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, his comments highlight that the frosty relationship between him and Mbappe may have persisted even after their time at PSG. The friction between the two was evident when Mbappe admitted in 2022 that his relationship with Neymar was “hot and cold.”

Though continents now separate both players, Neymar’s message seems to suggest unresolved feelings about their partnership at PSG. For Neymar, his time alongside Mbappe may have been marked by personal frustration, even as the duo enjoyed success on the field.

As Neymar recovers from a knee injury, Mbappe is preparing to kick off Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign, where his presence will be crucial. However, Neymar’s comments add an intriguing layer of context as Mbappe integrates into a team featuring prominent Brazilian stars.
