'Neymar was the superstar' - Mbappe dismisses reports of rivalry with PSG team-mate

The forward pair have proved almost irresistible on the pitch, but doubts persist over their supposed poor personal relationship

Kylian Mbappe has dismissed claims of a rift between himself and Neymar, affirming that both stars are happy to share the limelight at Paris Saint-Germain.

The pair have struck up a devastating partnership since arriving almost simultaneously at Parc des Princes in the summer of 2017, Neymar joining in a world-record move from Barcelona while Mbappe swapped Ligue 1 rivals Monaco for PSG.

Along with Edinson Cavani, they have proved scintillating in the French top-flight, with the trio scoring more than 200 combined goals in the two-and-a-half seasons they have shared the pitch.
