Although it has been rumored that Neymar will leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires, judging from his recent shocking statistics, most of them will stay in the team. After all, he really is a rare good player.
Some time ago, the relationship between him and Mbappe seemed to be very bad. Mbappe’s attempt to ask Neymar for a second penalty after missing his first penalty against Montpellier a week ago was met with much displeasure. And as he walked towards Neymar, he seemed to bump into Messi.
For details of this matter, you can browse blogs I wrote before:

But it appears that cool heads triumph over emotions.

And they've combined for the quickest Ligue 1 goal since Opta records began in 2006/07 (8 seconds). 🤝 pic.twitter.com/oEH2Pd27SB
The eight-second record in this game was achieved with the cooperation of Messi and Mbappe. Neymar kicked off proceedings, passing the ball to Verratti, who returned the ball to the Brazilian attacker, who also released the ball to Messi. The Argentine wasted no time on the ball as he spotted the run of Mbappe before setting him up with a perfectly timed ball.
During the game, Neymar assisted the Frenchman twice. When Neymar saw Mbappe score, we could see that he was sincerely happy for Mbappe, and he ran straight to his teammates to celebrate for him. Both had bright smiles on their faces.
They joined forces to dominate Sunday’s game against Lille, with all three in good form. Mbappe made a three-pointer, and Neymar scored twice and assisted three times to help the team win 7-1.
In the game against Lille, the three of them worked together very well. In this game, everything seemed to be in order within the team. Hug each other during post-match celebrations to dispel any suspicions they were unfriendly.
The picture we have all been waiting for.

I don’t know what you guys think, but when I saw their smiles, they hugged and celebrated. Seeing that the atmosphere in the team is so good, and every outstanding player is working hard for the team and each other, I am really happy from the bottom of my heart.
