The ups and downs of Neymar and Kylian Mbappé’s relationship have long intrigued football fans. While their partnership at PSG brought dazzling moments on the pitch, their personal interactions haven’t always been as smooth. One particularly eye-catching story, revealed by L’Équipe, provides an unexpected glimpse into their off-field rapport.
L’Équipe’s article, “Palaces, Restaurants, and Nightclubs: A Look at the Parisian Life of Footballers”, recounts an unusual event from a few years ago at a prestigious Paris restaurant. That evening, Neymar and Mbappé were out together, seemingly enjoying a night of fun. Neymar, in particular, indulged in high-end drinks, racking up an extravagant tab.
Mbappé Left to Foot the Bill
Just as the bill was about to be settled, Neymar made a swift and unexpected exit, leaving without paying. Stunned, the restaurant staff attempted to stop him, but the Brazilian had already disappeared into the night. With no other option, Kylian Mbappé found himself forced to cover the entire bill alone.
While the incident might seem like a harmless prank, it underscores the quirky dynamics between elite footballers. Was it an intentional joke, or just a misunderstanding? Whatever the case, Mbappé surely learned that even among teammates, generosity isn’t always shared equally.
