Paris: Argentina captain Lionel Messi praised French superstar Kylian Mbappe’s performance in the World Cup final. Messi said that Mbappe’s hat-trick performance in the World Cup final was magnificent. Messi’s response was given in an interview with PSG TV.
“It was actually a breath-taking final. Killian’s performance was also great. It is disappointing not to be the champion despite scoring three goals in the final,’ said Messi
Qatar had one of the best finals in the history of the World Cup. Mbappe scored a hat-trick for France while Messi scored a brace for Argentina. Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout and became the winner. Mbappe won the Golden Boot while Messi also won the Golden Ball.
Mbappe has already won the world title. He knows what it’s like to be a world champion. Anyway, it was a beautiful final for world football. “It’s good to be able to play in the same team now and hopefully we can do well in Paris,” added Messi.
Messi and Mbappe are in brilliant form at PSG. But Neymar’s injury is a setback for the team. PSG is going to face Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League pre-quarters. The fans are worried that Messi and his team will advance to the quarter after losing by a one-sided goal in the first quarter.
