Paris Saint-Germain superstars Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr's friendship is
well-known to the football world. This duo not only have beautiful chemistry in the
ground but also outside the ground. However, things are not going smoothly enough
between Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr for a while and there are some rumours that
their friendship is getting deteriorated for a while. The rumour says, Mbappe tried to
convince the Paris Saint-Germain chief to sell Neymar Jr in the summer transfer
window. The recent report says, Mbappe wants all of his PSG teammates to work
hard enough to win the Champions League but Neymar Jr is not pushing himself
hard enough. Is this why Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr friendship will end soon?
How Did Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr Friendship Started?
Both players arrived in Paris in 2017 with a significant amount of hype and a price
tag. Since 2017, this duo proved themselves one of the deadliest duos in world
football, especially in Ligue 1. Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr jointly won 9 major
trophies since they joined PSG. PSG won Ligue 1 title on 4 occasions ( 2017-18,
2018-19, 2019-20, 2021-22) since the duo became a part of it.

2. It is very obvious that Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr helped each other to shine against
all odds. In PSG, Neymar Jr scored 115 goals in 164 games whereas Mbappe scored
196 goals in 241 games, which makes Mbappe the second-highest goal scorer in PSG
history just behind Edinson Cavani.
Mbappe has been named player of the year three times, in 2018-19, 2020-21, and
2021-22 season whereas Neymar Jr was included in Ligue 1 team of the year three
times (2017-18, 2018-19 and 2020-21). Though Kylian Mbappe - Neymar Jr couldn't
win any Champions Trophy yet. Paris Saint-Germain became the runner-up in
2019-20 UEFA Champions League. The superior attack of PSG consisting Mbappe,
Neymar, Di Maria overshadowed their mediocre defence and mid-field in 2019-20
but in the final game, it was exposed to Bayern Munich.
How Did Kylian Mbappe- Neymar Jr Feud Started ?
After five seasons of staying together, the duo find themselves in a midst of a cold
war in the Paris Saint-Germain dressing room. Some reports suggested that Lionel
Messi and Sergio Ramos had to step in to separate the feuding pair after a penalty
controversy against Montpellier in August 2022. Some rumours also claimed that

3. Lionel Messi acted as a mediator between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr to form a
mutual pact not to discuss each other publicly.
The controversy reignited when Neymar Jr refused to answer about his relationship
with Kylian Mbappe by twisting his face. But Mbappe commented about his
relationship with Neymar. The Frenchman said, Obviously they were best friends but
somehow they are not talking to each other much now and it doesn't mean that there
is no mutual respect between them. Hence, according to Mbappe, The relationship
between Kylian Mbappe-Neymar Jr is still intact and there is a lot of mutual respect
between them.
L'Equipe report stated that the controversy between Neymar and Mbappe started
when Paris Saint-Germain considered trading the Brazilian in Summer Window.
Neymar believes that Mbappe played an active role to force the club to sell Neymar
Jr.
Since then their friendship eroded seriously that at the beginning of the season, the
duo argued over taking a penalty against Montpellier. The argument eventually
arived at the PSG dressing room and became even more serious. Lionel Messi and
former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos stepped up to solve the problem. But
according to many reports, the cold war still exists in the PSG dressing room.

4. Following the incident, Neymar liked a post on Twitter that trolled Mbappe as the
owner of Paris Saint-Germain and stated that Mbappe should have a clause in his
new contract that makes the Frenchman the primary penalty taker of the club.
Who is Kylian Mbappe's Best Friend at PSG?
Obviously, almost everyone knows the answer. Achraf Hakimi is Mbappe's best
friend at Paris Saint-Germain currently. There were times when Kylian Mbappe -
Neymar Jr used to be best friends. But the tussle of power destroyed their friendship.

5. When you have two lions in a jungle, this type of situation is inevitable. Neymar is
the superstar of Brazil whereas Mbappe is the next big thing after Zidane. Both need
significant spaces in Paris Saint-Germain to shine and increase the number of goals.
Of course, if they can't win a Champions League with this attack then many fans will
consider PSG as the chokers of the Champions League.
PSG boss Galtier needs to address the situation and bring this tussle into
equilibrium. Galtier should define roles not only for Mbappe or Neymar but also he
needs to remember Lionel Messi also plays for Paris Saint-Germain.

6. This is high time, PSG management should restructure the team and bring more
talented players in Mid-field and in defence so they can coordinate with Messi,
Neymar and Mbappe more effectively. Otherwise, the horrible defence and mid-field
of PSG is a big concern for them in the Champions League.
In the end, I hope that Christophe Galtier will reestablish Kylian Mbappe - Neymar
Jr friendship and we will be able to see many more magical moments between them.
