Mbappé Confirms Calling Neymar a 'Bum' vs. Montpellier, Discusses PSG Transfer Drama

Kylian Mbappé has confirmed the gossip that he called PSG teammate Neymar "a bum" during a 2-0 win over Montpellier on Sept. 25; but no, there's no rift, he insisted.

After being subbed off in the 88th minute with PSG leading 1-0, Mbappé fumed on the bench where he called Neymar a "clochard," which means bum or vagrant in French. In full, the PSG star was caught on camera saying, "This bum, he never passes to me."

In an interview with L'Equipe as he prepares for World Cup qualifiers with France, Mbappé confirmed the account, but said that it has since become water under the bridge.
