Neymar has spoken about Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe as his 'dream' five-a-side team is revealed.

Brazilian superstar Neymar is one of the best players of his generation, having played for the likes of Santos, Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain and Al Hilal.

Last month, the 32-year-old's reported £1.6 million per-week contract at Al Hilal has been terminated by mutual consent amid reports of a return to Brazil.

He has since returned to former club Santos on a deal worth approximately £135,507 (R$1 million) per month, according to the Daily Mail – which works out at around £32,500 per week.

Recently, the Brazilian spoke about his relationship with former PSG teammates Messi and Mbappe during a sit-down interview with former Brazil striker Romario.

Neymar's true feelings on Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe

“Mbappe was not annoying. When Messi came, I think he became a little jealous," he said, as per Fabrizio Romano.

“I had my things with him, we had a little fight. He was a boy... that in the beginning was key, I used to call him ‘Golden Boy’, I spoke to him, played around with him, told him he’d be one of the best, I always help, always had conversations with him.

“When Leo [Messi] arrived, he became a little jealous. He didn’t want to share me with anyone. That’s how the fights started, the change in behaviour."

Back in 2020, Neymar included both Mbappe and Messi when he was asked to pick a 'current' and 'legendary' five-a-side team. The one rule was that he was not allowed to pick any Brazilian players.

Neymar's dream five-a-side teams

As reported by The Sun, Neymar selected Mbappe, Messi, Paul Pogba, Eden Hazard and Luis Suarez.

For the legends team, Neymar picked Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Xavi and David Beckham.

When speaking about ego, Neymar said: "It is good to have egos," he said. "But you have to know that you don't play alone. There needs to be another guy by your side. (Big) egos were almost everywhere, it can't work."

The Brazilian added: "If nobody runs and nobody helps, it is impossible to win anything."
