PSG peacemaker revealed amid ugly megastar clash

Tensions are said to have been running high between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar

Veteran defender Sergio Ramos reportedly turned peacemaker on Saturday night at Paris Saint-Germain amid claims that warring pair Neymar and Kylian Mbappe almost came to blows with "objects thrown" backstage at the Parc des Princes. 

Tensions between the players were evident as the Ligue 1 champions beat Montpellier at home at the weekend.

At one point during the 5-1 win, Mbappe missed a penalty and then barged past Lionel Messi and demanded that Neymar let him take a second.

The Brazilian refused the Frenchman's request, and went on to convert his spot kick and then bag a brace.

In another incident for which he was widely criticized, Mbappe was also seen sulking and giving up during a counter attack when Vitinha passed the ball to Messi and not him, though this was later put down to "personal issues" that the 23-year-old is allegedly going through by RMC Sport.

As Neymar 'liked' a couple of Twitter posts from Portuguese-speaking fan accounts that criticized Mbappe, reports then emerged of a breakdown in the pair's relationship triggered by Mbappe's alleged support for 2017 world record signing Neymar to be offloaded this summer.
