PSG president insists Mbappe and Neymar 'are good friends'

This season, it looked like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe were getting into fights, but Nasser Al-Khelaifi thinks it was all made up by the media.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi

, the president of

Paris Saint-Germain

, says there are no problems between star players

Kylian Mbappe

and Neymar. He compares any disagreements between the two to fights between siblings.

There have been rumors of discontent at the

Parc des Princes

since Paris Saint-5-2 Germain's win over Montpellier on August 13. In that game, Neymar took over penalty duties after Mbappe missed a penalty.

Mbappe was said to have gotten angry with more than one teammate during that game. The situation was said to have gotten out of hand in the locker room afterward, and Sergio Ramos had to step in to keep the peace.

Soon after,

Neymar

was seen liking a tweet that said Mbappe's new contract with the French giants made him act like the "owner of PSG." After Thursday's Champions League draw, which put Paris Saint-Germain in Group H with

Juventus

, Benfica, and Maccabi Haifa, Al-Khelaifi was adamant that rumors of a rift between his star players were exaggerated.

"No, no. He said, "There's no problem at all." "I think that... I think it's mostly you and the media who are making a big deal out of it. There's nothing to worry about. I mean, it's normal for me to fight with my brother or sister. But because Kylian Mbappé is involved, the media says they are good friends and work well together on the team. And they'll be good teammates forever."

Paris Saint-Germain is the only Ligue 1 to have won all three games. They have scored 17 goals and given up only three. Al-Khelaifi said, "It's a good start, but it's just the start." "They need to work harder, and there are a lot of things they need to work on and get better at. The season is too long, and this is just the beginning. We're happy with how things have started."
