Kylian Mbappe has detailed what he misses most about Lionel Messi since the forward left
PSG to sign for Inter💲 Miami.
The Argentine international was released by the French
giants in the summer after Messi’s contract with PSG expired, with the💲 36-year-old
making the switch to Inter Miami in a blockbuster deal for MLS.
Since then, Mbappe has
become the main man💲 at PSG with Neymar also leaving the reigning Ligue 1 giants for a
move to Saudi Arabia.

And
speaking to Amazon Prime, Mbappe has now detailed what it was like to play alongside
Messi,💲 with the French superstar revealing that he misses his former PSG
teammate.
Mbappe said when asked about Messi: “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.”
