Paris Saint Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has stated that the report of the ongoing spat between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar during their 2-0 Ligue 1 win over Montpellier at the weekend is nothing but just talk.
“They’re fantastic guys. These things happen,” Pochettino told reporters ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League game against Manchester City.
“There are always things between top players. They’re competitors who want to win and help the team achieve. I have spoken to them individually. They may have also spoken to each other and there have been photos of them enjoying themselves in training.”
“If there’s a small incident sometimes that can create a wave but it’s actually just talk.”
The manager said that Messi was expected to play a part against Manchester City but he would need time to adjust to life in Paris following switch from Barcelona.
