Ex-PSG superstar Neymar Jr. had a rough falling out with his former friend Kylian Mbappe. The once inseparable duo started to grow apart during Neymar’s final years at the French capital. However, things were not always the same. The Frenchman was rejoicing after Neymar arrived at the club and even defended the Brazilian on multiple occasions. One such incident took place in 2018 when Mbappe did not shy away from shutting down a popular actor who made stupid jokes during his ex-teammate’s birthday.

While things were great for the duo during the first few years, the last two years of Neymar’s stint with PSG saw his friendship with Mbappe fizzle out. The duo grew apart, and it has been reported that Mbappe even gave Neymar a cold shoulder during his final training session with the Parisians.

Judor claimed, “One day, I was invited to Neymar’s 26th birthday party. For a moment, I’m making jokes about Neymar. He got on some kind of stage and started crying with his son in his arms. I couldn’t believe his tears.”

The actor then added, “So, I say something stupid, and that’s when we see that Mbappé has club spirit. Because he turned around and gave me a little embarrassed look like, Can you please stop, Eric?” (Complied by Le10Sport)

Rifts between the duo became quite evident when the two fought during a game, deciding who would take a penalty.
