Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Neymar jr has reportedly issued a shocking warning to his Brazilian compatriots at Real Madrid about the difficulties of playing alongside French forward Kylian Mbappe. After years of tension at PSG, Neymar allegedly described the experience as “catastrophic,” shedding new light on what was once considered a dream team.
Neymar Jr on Kylian Mbappe: ‘Playing with Mbappe is Hell!’
The Brazilian superstar, who formed a star-studded attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Mbappe at PSG, experienced a turbulent time with his French teammate. Despite the anticipation surrounding their partnership, Neymar and Mbappe often struggled to find harmony on the pitch. This tension persisted for four seasons before Messi’s arrival in 2021, eventually contributing to Neymar’s decision to leave for Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.
Now, Neymar is reportedly cautioning Real Madrid’s Brazilian stars, including Vinicius Jr., about the pitfalls of playing with Mbappe. Journalist Cyril Hanouna recently revealed on Europe 1 that Neymar sent a message to Madrid’s Brazilian contingent, describing his time with Mbappe as a “war” and labeling the experience as “hell.”

The revelation comes as a shock to many football fans who viewed the Neymar-Mbappe partnership as an electrifying force in European football. Over the span of their time together at PSG, the two players combined for 54 goals across 136 matches. Yet, behind the scenes, the relationship was marred by disagreements and frustrations. Neymar’s exit from PSG, followed by Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid, marked the end of a partnership that never quite reached its full potential.
Despite Mbappe’s challenging start in La Liga, where he went goalless in his first three games, he soon found his stride with a double in a 2-0 victory over Real Betis and a goal against Real Sociedad. Still, Neymar’s candid warning to his fellow Brazilians raises questions about Mbappe’s impact on team dynamics and what lies ahead for Real Madrid’s locker room.
Are Mbappe and Neymar friends?
Kylian Mbappe and Neymar’s relationship has been rocky, shifting from initial admiration to strained respect. According to a PSG insider, the daily grind eventually led Mbappe to lose the respect he once had for Neymar.
