Kylian Mbappé has been called up to be the new star of world football. Although he has already been positioned in the elite, the dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo remains in the minds of the masses. Now, ‘Donatello’ referred to his partner in Paris Saint-Germain and his comments raised a surprise.
WSJ magazine interviewed the world champion in Russia 2018, where he talked about ‘Flea’, who he has shared in the dressing room with since 2021. The striker commented on how the duel between Argentine captain and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo shaped his childhood.
“They’ve changed the way people approach the game, and I think that’s why the rivalry between them has captured so many people. They don’t see football the same way. They don’t see life the same way. And they’ve fought with their teeth and nails for over a decade, for Me, that was my entire childhood.”
His relationship with Messi:
