What Galtier said about Ramos and his role in a squad where Mbappé wants control

The bomb that was about to explode seems to have been defused after PSG's spectacular 7-1 victory in their last match, in which both Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Lionel Messi contributed their share of goals.

However, that fuse that was lit by the "penaltygate" play between the Brazilian and the Frenchman was extinguished not only by the coach's intervention, but also by that of another of the squad's leaders, who despite his great record, was overshadowed by the most powerful trident in Europe.

Despite Mbappé's goals, what Galtier had to say about Neymar's performance

Sergio Ramos is Christophe Galtier's choice both on and off the field. After a first season to forget, the Spanish center-back has become a key player for the Parisian team not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room.

"He is one of the pillars of the dressing room," said the French coach in a press conference after the victory over Nantes that won the Super Cup. "These types of players, whether they play or not, bring high-level experience," he added.

Ramos calmed the tension between ‘Ney’ and Mbappé

Statements that a week later took on greater significance after the French newspaper Le Parisien reported that the defender was one of those who tried to put cooler heads at a time of high tension between Neymar and Mbappé. The media in question detailed that, during halftime of the first match against Montpellier, it was Sergio Ramos who intervened between the two to try to avoid friction in a dressing room where the atmosphere was tense, and to be able to go out calmer to dispute the second half.
