In a shocking revelation by Cyril Hanouna speaking on Europe 1, Neymar Jr had reportedly warned his Brazilian teammates Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Eder Militao about playing with new Real Madrid recruit Kylian Mbappe. Neymar had played with the Frenchman back in PSG for the last few years.
The two weren’t always the best of mates when playing for the French outfit, with a reported power struggle between the two stars having brewed for a couple of years. The report goes on to say that Mbappe was ‘hellish’ to play with as per the Brazilian.
“The Brazilians of Real Madrid are friends of Neymar. There has always been a war between Neymar and Mbappe. Neymar has sent a document about Mbappe to the Brazilians, telling them that it was catastrophic, that he was hellish,” explained Hanouna.
The two had publicly had a couple of issues publicly during their time at PSG together, especially once for a penalty.

However, so far, Neymar’s fears have been unfounded from a Real Madrid point of view. Mbappe seems to have made a good bond with Vinicius and Jude Bellingham and all of them have been quite eager to portray themselves as a trio, on social media. His relationship with the others, Rodrygo and Militao, also seems to be budding.
Mbappe had a slow first couple of league games but has now found some form, scoring thrice in the last two games. He has scored twice from the penalty spot which could have been more, had he not been sharing spot kick duties with Vinicius Jr.
