Kylian Mbappe has admitted he misses playing with Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain
(PSG). He hailed the Argentine as a 💻 player who can find attackers with ease and added
that it was special to share the pitch with the Inter 💻 Miami star.
Speaking to the media
after winning the Trophee des Champions title with PSG, Mbappe was quizzed about Messi.
He 💻 was quick to admit that he misses the Argentine at PSG and said (via GOAL):
"Playing
with Leo Messi is definitely 💻 something I miss a lot. You always miss not playing with
Leo Messi anymore! For an attacker like me, who 💻 likes to attack spaces, with him you
have the certainty that you can get the ball. It was a luxury 💻 that almost only he can
give you! Beyond that, playing with Messi was special!"
Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi
played 67 💻 matches together at PSG. They combined for 34 goals - 20 goals by the
Frenchman were assisted by the Argentine, 💻 with the former AS Monaco star returning the
favor 14 times.
Lionel Messi did not get the respect he deserved, claims 💻 Kylian
Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe spoke about the departure of Lionel Messi at the end of the
2024/23 season and admitted that 💻 the PSG fans did not respect the Argentine enough. He
added that the Inter Miami star is one of the 💻 best players in the history of football
and said:
"We are talking about potentially the best player in the history of 💻 football.
It's never good news when someone like Messi leaves. Personally, I don't understand why
so many people were so 💻 relieved that he was gone. We are talking about Messi. He needs
to be respected, and instead he didn't get 💻 the respect he deserved in France. It's a
shame, but that's how it happened. We will have to do what 💻 we can to replace
him.”
Lionel Messi left PSG after the last season when his contract expired. Kylian
Mbappe is in 💻 a similar situation with his contract coming to an end in the summer of
2024. He is yet to make 💻 a decision on his future but reportedly has interest from Real
Madrid and Liverpool.
