Following an on-field dispute with superstar Neymar in April, a Paris Saint-Germain star has explained what happened between himself and the former FC Barcelona attacker in the heated moment.
Di Maria Makes Huge Messi Admission
After losing 3-2 to Montpellier in a Ligue 1 fixture towards the end of the past campaign, Neymar and Julian Draxler were seen exchanging harsh words with one another, with the Selecao man reportedly saying, "Who are you to talk to me? You only play backwards passes" after he was accused of being selfish.
Asked about the incident recently, the Germn attacking midfielder insisted that although he and Neymar did not see eye to eye in that moment, their squabble was blown out of proportion.

"I disagreed with him, as can happen with any teammate," Draxler told Kicker.
"When that happens to you with Neymar, it ends up in the media (laughs).
"If you don't agree, you have to say it, it doesn't matter who's looking at you.
"It was something during the game, he was annoyed, his tone of voice rose, but he calmed down.
"Nothing special, I'd say, but it showed that, in that moment, we weren't in the best of situations."
