messi junior football shirts Mbappe on Neymar
Mbappe went on to jump to the defence of PSG team-mate Neymar, who he believes has been unfairly criticised for his perceived lack of commitment and penchant for over-the-top theatrics in recent years.
“He is one of my best friends. There are many people who speak ill of his attitude,” he said.”Maybe it’s because of a few scenes from the World Cup when he was on the ground every now and then.
“But I can assure you: he is really a good guy, the image that many have of him in their heads is not true! I think people would have to know him better to judge him.
“We actually joke all the time. And our life is really only made up of bets. It’s just good for both of us if we can always motivate each other and keep our spirits high.”
