In an interview with TNT Sports Brasil, the Real Madrid star chose not to respond directly to Neymar’s comments but couldn’t resist a subtle jab, hinting that he, too, could reveal some behind-the-scenes details if he wanted to.
“No (I won’t respond),” Mbappé told the outlet (h/t Canal Supporters). “The truth is, I have nothing to say. I’m very focused on what I’m doing here in Madrid. I have a lot of respect for Neymar.
“Of course, I could say a lot about Neymar, but I prefer to focus on the positive—on a unique player in the history of football and all the moments we shared together in Paris. Now, I’m in Madrid, and I want to enjoy my time here. Best of luck to Neymar, his family, and all his friends.”
