Inside the PSG Locker Room: Neymar Discusses Mbappe’s Jealousy of Messi
Neymar has revealed that Kylian Mbappé’s behavior changed after Lionel Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in August 2021. He noted that Mbappé became “a little jealous” and “didn’t want to share me with anyone,” leading to tensions between the two players.
Despite their successful partnership, including multiple league titles, PSG’s pursuit of a Champions League title remained unfulfilled. Neymar emphasized that managing egos within the team was a significant challenge, which often affected team dynamics and performance.
Mbappé eventually transferred to Real Madrid in 2023 after his contract with PSG ended. Neymar left PSG for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia in August 2023 but has been limited by injuries. Messi joined Inter Miami in the MLS.
