Striker Kylian Mbappe raves about team-mate Lionel Messi and even sees the PSG newcomer as the best player in the world.
Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain raved about his team-mate Lionel Messi after the last group game in the Champions League against FC Bruges.
“It’s easy to play with Messi. He’s the best player in the world. He just won the Ballon d’Or a few days ago,” said the Frenchman, who also won the 4-1 win over Bruges Argentinians had scored a brace.
“He scored two goals today, he’s happy and I hope he will help us in the future,” added Mbappe. Messi made a free transfer to the French capital in the summer after 17 years at FC Barcelona.
Will Kylian Mbappe join Real Madrid?
Mbappe has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for several months now. The 22-year-old’s working paper expires at the end of the season. In the end, he did not rule out an extension of the contract.
Mbappe is said to have developed his soft spot for Los Blancos because of a certain player: Cristiano Ronaldo. The striker once had a picture of himself Instagram posted, which shows him surrounded by CR7 posters in his old youth room. The tide now seems to have turned.
