Kylian Mbappe says he spoke to Paris St-Germain team-mate Neymar about a derogatory remark he made about the Brazilian at a game last month.

The 22-year-old was heard saying "this bum, he never passes to me" after he was substituted against Montpellier.

"Yes, yes, I said that. Now, these are things that happen all the time in football," said France striker Mbappe.

"Immediately afterwards, seeing how big it had become, I talked to him about it."

PSG won the Ligue 1 game against Montpellier 2-0 before going on to beat Manchester City 2-0 in a Champions League group game.
