Lionel Messi acted as a ‘mediator’ to help quell a ‘feud’ between his Paris Saint-Germain attacking teammates Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Mbappe and Neymar fell out over the order of penalty takers in the team during the Ligue 1 clash against Montpellier earlier this month, after the Brazilian did not allow his teammate to take PSG's second spot-kick after the Frenchman had seen his first effort saved.
The fallout did not stop there, as Neymar went on to 'like' two social posts that slammed Mbappe over the episode, including a post that said the Frenchman “controlled” the club. That comment was within the context of reports claiming that Mbappe would hold great sway in the club's sporting decisions as part of his new three-year contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions.
