The legendary Brazilian striker, Romario hosted a new podcast where Neymar made his remarks.
This was after Romario asked if this season’s Real Madrid signing Mbappé is annoying.
Neymar said: “No, he is not. I have my things with him, we had a little fight, but he was fundamental to us when he arrived. I used to call him Golden Boy.
“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.”
In 2017 Neymar and Mbappe both moved from Barcelona and AS Monaco to PSG respectively.
Neymar added that PSGs performances in important games were impacted by inflated egos.
“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.”
On his decision to join Barcelona ahead of Real Madrid Neymar said that he has no regret.

“Those were intense days. It was 2 or 3 days where I wasn’t even training, just going from my house to the office to resolve this.
