  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Last week, Neymar claimed that while the pair were playing together at PSG, he got on well with Mbappe, until Lionel Messi arrived and the France World Cup winner started acting "jealous". Now, Mbappe has responded to the comments, and has given them unsurprisingly short shrift.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  All three have since moved onto pastures new, with Messi at Inter Miami, Mbappe at Real Madrid, and Neymar playing in Saudi Arabia for Al-Hilal. Mbappe remains at the peak of European football, and insists he has no desire to provoke a reaction from his former team-mate.

• WHAT MBAPPE SAID

  Mbappe told : "No. The truth is that I have nothing to say. I am very focused on what I am doing here, at Real Madrid. I have a lot of respect for Neymar.

  "I could talk about Neymar many times, but I prefer to keep the positive, a unique player in the history of football and all the moments we spent together in Paris. Now I'm in Madrid, I want to enjoy Madrid. Good luck to Neymar, his family and all his friends."
