Neymar has “liked” a post criticizing Kylian Mbappe when tensions at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were at their peak.
That is the headline shared in the Mirror (UK) today 6-5. The internal crisis engulfing PSG is getting worse with rifts in their all-star squad said to be unresolvable. Neymar has just pressed the “like” button on a post criticizing his PSG team-mate Kylian Mbappe.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi was suspended internally by PSG for 2 weeks for going to Saudi Arabia without permission. Messi is expected to leave the Parc des Princes team at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Neymar’s future at PSG is also at stake. PSG leaders have changed the policy and set up a new plan at the club. Accordingly, PSG will prioritize young players, homegrown stars and French players, rather than superstars entering the twilight of their careers like Neymar and Messi.

That was not the previous plan of PSG, especially in the summer of 2021 PSG brought in a series of superstars such as Messi, Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, Hakimi to create a squad considered “Dream Team”, at the top. is the trio of stars Messi, Neymar, Mbappe.
But less than two years later, that project appears to be “dead in its infancy”, with rifts within the team growing and failing to heal. Both Messi and Neymar have come under heavy criticism from PSG fans, with some even protesting outside the Brazilian’s Paris home last week.
While some others came to PSG’s headquarters to protest against Messi. And PSG fans are certainly more angry when Neymar agrees with a post criticizing Kylian Mbappe. Neymar and Mbappe have been at odds with each other for several years now.
Last summer, Kylian Mbappe signed a huge contract to stay at PSG for another three years. PSG spent a lot of money to convince Mbappe to renew his contract, in order to avoid losing him to Real Madrid. But after that agreement, PSG’s performance did not improve, and the internal situation was confused with the fact that the stars were not satisfied with each other.

The account Pundit Ofuiclear had a post criticizing Mbappe for PSG’s bad season, including PSG’s elimination from the Champions League in the last 16. Pundit Ofuiclear posted a video on Instagram criticizing new France captain Mbappe and mocking him as a “prince”.
Pundit Ofuiclear says: “That’s the difference between the greatest and the greatest! PSG missed, missed, missed and missed their fans. We cannot choose history, position ourselves as great. Having a great attitude is within our reach.
This PSG team is the worst in recent years. Why? Because PSG have extended the contract of his prince (Kylian Mbappe) for an extraordinary amount. It was the same prince who knocked PSG out of the Champions League, who had easy passes to Neymar and back to the goalkeeper against Bayern Munich. Kylian Mbappe thinks he’s God now.”
