Al-Hilal forward Neymar and influencer Bruna Biancardi have officially ended their relationship. This decision comes a few weeks after they celebrated the birth of their first child, Mavie, born on October 7. Despite the initial joy surrounding the expansion of their family, rumors about the status of their relationship began circulating, with speculation about Neymar’s alleged infidelity.

Addressing these rumors on her Instagram story, Biancardi stated, “This is a private matter, but since I am often associated with news, suspicions, and jokes, I would like to inform you that I am not in a relationship. We are Mavie’s parents, and that is the reason for our relationship. I hope you won’t associate me with the news so often anymore. Thank you.”

This development follows earlier strains in their relationship, including compromising footage of Neymar partying with other women that emerged earlier this year.

Champions League: They’ve nothing – Mbappe criticises Newcastle Utd

Paris Saint-Germain’s captain, Kylian Mbappe, expressed dissatisfaction with Newcastle United following their 1-1 draw in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night in Paris. Mbappe asserted that Newcastle had little to offer and believed that PSG should have emerged victorious in the Champions League match.

Although Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead in the first half, the Premier League side couldn’t secure the win. Tino Livramento’s handball in injury time led to Mbappe equalizing from the penalty spot.

Despite PSG’s dominance with thirty-one attempts on goal, Newcastle United failed to register a shot on target after Isak’s opening goal in the 24th minute.

In his post-match interview, Mbappe criticized Newcastle’s approach to the game, stating, “It is frustrating because we dominated this team from start to finish. They have nothing. We knew it was their game to have nothing, but we had to finish our chances better. We had too many chances for a Champions League match. It’s not the structure or the organisation; it’s us, the players. We need to be much more diligent in front of goal.”
