Most importantly, the 22-years-old Mbappe has admitted calling Neymar a "clochard", which translates as bum or tramp. This happened when he was left frustrated after his strike partner-assisted a goal to one of his other teammates but not him.
Kylian Mbappe told L'Equipe about the Neymar situation, "Yes, yes, I said it (admitting to calling Neymar a bum). Now, these are things which happen all the time in football. It just needs to be something that doesn't linger. That's why, right after, given how it blew up, I spoke to him about it. We already had a few exchanges like that in the past and it will continue because we want to win, but there shouldn't be a certain resentment. There isn't any here at all because I respect the player and the man, and I admire what he is. But that's it, I wasn't happy with a pass. One day it happened to me too, I didn't pass it and he wasn't happy. But there's no issue."
