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.”
Kylian Mbappe will never have another teammate like Lionel Messi
Mbappe is currently on his own course to becoming one of the best players football has ever seen, with the 25-year-old attacker a truly generational talent.
Yet even Mbappe himself will admit that no player he has played with will ever come close to Messi, such is the greatness the Inter Miami superstar possesses.
Indeed, Mbappe himself will one day become future generation’s favourite player, yet the forward’s comments show just how respected Messi has become in the global game.
