Neymar has in the past liked tweets condemning Mbappe's penalty-taking styles. The two had earlier clashed over a penalty in a Ligue 1 game.

Football Espana now reports that the two have seemingly put their differences aside thanks to Ramos' intervention.

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.

The Brazilian stayed put in Paris and has since become one of the most in-form players in the world, after starting the season splendidly.

PSG will be hoping that the two stars could put their differences aside and, together with Lionel Messi, lead them to the elusive Champions League title.

Neymar was left shocked by Kylian Mbappe's new influence at PSG

Sports Brief had earlier reported that there is more trouble brewing at Paris Saint-Germain, as superstar forward Kylian Mbappe reportedly does not want his teammate Neymar in the side ‘at all’. Neymar has ‘been left astonished by the influence’ of Mbappe at the club.

Paris Saint-Germain recently made their intentions of keeping Mbappe clear by offering him a mega money new contract to fend off interest from Real Madrid.

With the 23-year-old’s initial contract running out and Real Madrid closing in on a deal, Mbappe stunned everyone as he made a U-turn on joining Los Blancos to remain at Parc de Princes.
