Neymar: No competition between Mbappe and I

Neymar Jr. has dismissed the idea that he and Kylian Mbappé compete for the limelight at Paris Saint - Germain, reaffirming their friendship in an interview with France Football .

Neymar and Mbappé both joined the capital club in the summer of 2017, the former from FC Barcelona , the latter from AS Monaco, initially on loan .

The world ’s most pensive player and the French World Cup winner can occupy similar positions in the final third , but with 16 goals and seven assists between them this season , it is clear they can flourish at the same time .

“ My relationship with Kylian is very good ,” explained to 27 - year -old , who has won five major honours during his time in France . “We ’re good friends and help each other to win matches , to score goals . I feel that there ’s something special. There ’s no competition between us .

“We help each other score goals . When one of us scores , he tells the other one: ‘now it’s your turn. ’ This is how to be in football. Be a good teammate , otherwise things won ’t go well. ”
