Heartwarming Footage of Neymar Junior Encouraging Kylian Mbappe Before Penalty vs Benfica Emerges

• Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have been at loggerheads this season, which has threatened to detail the cohesiveness of the PSG squad
• But Brazil star Neymar was spotted encouraging his club teammate Kylian Mbappe before converting his penalty against Benfica
• Paris Saint-Germain took the lead against the Portuguese giants thanks to a first-half penalty by Kylian Mbappe

Neymar Junior appeared to brush aside the rift between him and Kylian Mbappe by encouraging the Frenchman before his penalty against Benfica.

The Brazilian playmaker's relationship with 23-year-old Mbappe has deteriorated in recent months, as the PSG duo has already clashed over a penalty in a Ligue 1 game earlier this season.

Neymar stepped up and converted from the spot after Mbappe had missed a penalty earlier in the same game after fighting over who should take the second penalty.

The ex-Barcelona winger has also in the past liked tweets condemning Mbappe's penalty-taking styles.

But it seems the pair have settled their differences during PSG's Champions League clash against the Portuguese giants.

Christophe Galtier's side were awarded a penalty in the 39th minute after Juan Bernat was impeded in the box by Antonio Silva.

Mbappe then stepped up and rippled the back of the net to give Les Parisiens the lead on Tuesday night.

And in a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, Neymar was sighted actually encouraging his teammate before he took the penalty.

Neymar and Mbappe have been at loggerheads this season, which has threatened to detail the cohesiveness of the PSG squad.

However, it is now understood that the two stars resolved their misunderstandings if this video is anything to go by.

Sports Brief earlier reported that veteran defender Sergio Ramos provided his wealth of leadership experience during the much-publicised feud between Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

The Spanish international, together with club captain Marquinhos, is said to have advised Neymar on a number of issues, including forfeiting penalty-taking duties to Mbappe.

A previous report by Goal intimated that Neymar still had issues with Mbappe but did not want to jeopardise the squad's harmony.
