Neymar claims Kylian Mbappe was jealous of Lionel Messi during their time together with Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar and Mbappe both joined PSG in 2017 with Messi following in 2021.
\"No, he is not,\" said Neymar when asked if Mbappe is annoying. \"I have my things with him, we had a little fight, but he was fundamental for us when he arrived. I used to call him golden boy,\" Neymar said. \"I always played with him, said he was going to be one of the best. I always helped, talked to him, he came to my place, we had dinner together.
\"We had some good years of partnership, but after Messi came he was a little jealous. He didn\'t want to split me with anyone. And then there were some fights, a change in behavior.\"
Neymar said the team often struggled due to big egos, but didn\'t name anyone.
\"It is good to have egos, but you have to know that you don\'t play alone,\" Neymar said. \"There needs to be another guy by your side. [Big] egos were almost everywhere, it can\'t work. If nobody runs and nobody helps, it is impossible to win anything.\"
