According to media reports, former Real Madrid captain Ramos prevented the clash between Neymar and Mbappe in the dressing room.
"Good old man" Ramos and his two teammates
The relationship between the two superstar strikers has been strained, especially in recent months. Their relationship is said to have deteriorated "to the extreme" — and has stalled with no turning back.
Some media said that Kylian Mbappe did not want Neymar to stay in the team at all, and the world's most expensive French striker has become increasingly influential at the club since signing a 500 million euros contract in May this year.
Earlier, in the victory over Montpellier in August, Brazilian striker Neymar snatched the ball from the Frenchman on the second penalty as Mbappe conceded the first penalty.

The two are said to have a clash in the locker room afterwards, and the experienced old good man Ramos had to step in to mediate. He gently told Neymar to respect Mbappe's decision to be awarded a penalty by the team.
Messi and Brazilian Marquinhos are also said to have stepped in to help resolve the situation – the Argentine icon often acts as a mediator between the two.
Now there are concerns that the growing discontent among the stars (who spent a total of $360 million in transfer fees) could disrupt the harmony of manager Christopher Garty's lineup.
Mbappello appeared to be preparing to leave Paris Saint-Germain last summer after completing a dramatic 180-degree turn, signing a huge contract until 2025, which included $250 million in bonuses and a total of $1.6 million in weekly salary.
In addition to the huge financial backing, Mbappe has also gained greater influence at the club, his voice playing an important role in football decisions, and the Greater Paris board is trying to make the 23-year-old happy.
But Neymar, 30, reportedly disputed that and privately accused Mbappe of trying to get Paris Saint-Germain to sell him this summer so the former Monaco ace could become the undisputed number one.
Now, the two sides appear to have reached an armistice and tried to cover up the troubles.
They continued to celebrate goals together – there have been many goals this season, Mbappe has scored 10 and Neymar has scored 11.
They refused to comment on their relationship in the media – in an interview on a recent international match day, the Frenchman stressed that he was more comfortable playing in the national team; At the other end, the Brazilian interviewed the media after the game, sighed, and walked away.

Neither player wants to make the situation worse because the World Cup is just around the corner.
The two discordant Paris superstars have now reached an agreement to keep their simmering emotional issues a secret, especially when they are just over a month away from the World Cup.
