Kylian Mbappé, the star of Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team, responded to a question posed to him about who he believes is the best between Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine legend Lionel Messi. In the past, Mbappé displayed great admiration for Ronaldo, whom he met in 2012 while he was playing for Real Madrid, considering him his idol. However, his experience playing alongside Messi at Paris Saint-Germain for two years from 2021 to 2023 changed Mbappé's perspective, as he praised the greatness of the Argentine player.
Mbappé stated, as highlighted by "Le Sport 10": "I love Cristiano and I have admired him since I was young." He added, "But I am starting to learn now because when you are a big fan of Ronaldo, you cannot see how well Messi performs. I’ve grown up now and I love both."
