Neymar: "Mbappé Got Jealous When Messi Arrived - His Behaviour Changed Completely"

Neymar revealed in a recent interview that Kylian Mbappé's behaviour changed when Lionel Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian stated that Mbappé felt jealous because he didn't want to share the spotlight with anyone and his behaviour worsened. Neymar said that initially he had a good relationship with Mbappé, calling him “Golden Boy” and offering him support. However, with the arrival of Messi, the dynamic changed and Mbappé showed a more selfish attitude. Neymar believes that Mbappé's ego was one of the reasons why the Messi-Neymar-Mbappé trio didn't work at Paris Saint-Germain. He stressed that it is important to have teamwork and cooperation to achieve goals, and that individual glory cannot be the only motivation. In summary, Neymar described a complicated situation at Paris Saint-Germain, where Messi's arrival caused jealousy and changes in Mbappé's behaviour, negatively affecting the team's performance.
