Kylian Mbappé - Lionel Messi

This Sunday, Kylian Mbappé reflected on Lionel Messi, with whom he played during his time at PSG.

Beyond topics related to the French national team, Kylian Mbappé also spoke about his former PSG teammate, Lionel Messi. For the French national team captain, it was a tremendous opportunity to share the pitch with the FC Barcelona legend.

"I was lucky enough to play with Leo Messi. I never thought I’d play alongside him, because my dream was always Real Madrid. I never considered joining Barcelona. I was really surprised, because everything was so normal in the dressing room. When you’re famous, a lot of people label you, both as a person and as a player. But Messi is completely down to earth, he respects everyone. And he’s a unique player. When you have someone like him on your team, you just need to stay close and watch everything he does. Being near him really helped me as a player to better understand the game." said Kylian Mbappé to Téléfoot.
