Sergio Ramos instructed Neymar to show respect to Paris Saint-Germain’s decision to keep Kylian Mbappe as the club’s main penalty taker.
Ramos had to step-in and break up the two feuding superstar forwards in the PSG dressing room following a Ligue 1 clash against Montpellier in August. Mbappe and Neymar fell out over the order of penalty takers in the match as the fractious relationship between the two came to light.
Mbappe did not convert the side’s opening penalty but he was unhappy that Neymar took the second spot kick during the game, which he converted. PSG boss Christophe Galtier moved to tackle the issue head-on by staging a first-team meeting in which the two were rebuked and apologised, while Messi acted as a mediator to help quell the ongoing discontent.
