Does Mbappe Think Messi is Better than Cristiano Ronaldo?
How does Kylian Mbappe feel about Messi? Does Mbappe Think Messi is Better than Cristiano Ronaldo? According to Marca, Mbappe seems to forget his idol Ronaldo as he now calls Lionel Messi “the world’s best player”
It appears PSG star Mbappe had a change of heart between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo when the former Barcelona icon joined Paris Saint Germain last summer. How does Mbappe feel about Messi?
“It’s very easy to play with Messi” Mbappe said. “Leo Messi really understands football, always knows what to do. “If he has to dribble past everyone and score a goal, he’ll do it. Mbappe comments on Messi are meant to compliment the achievements of the Barcelona legend, there is nothing wrong with showing respect to Ronaldo’s rival Lionel Messi.

Who is Kylian Mbappe idol: Messi or Ronaldo?
Perhaps, everyone football fan knows that Cristiano Ronaldo has been Kylian Mbappe’s idol throughout his entire life but it appears Leo Messi is changing his mind. When the Argentine first arrived from FC Barcelona to play for PSG, Mbappe seemed slightly more serious than usual. Granted, that had a lot to do with his desire to play for Real Madrid last summer but he also remained a faithful admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo. The PSG board hoped a few months Leo Messi could persuade him of possibly staying and even signing a new contract in order to avoid Real Madrid. That much remains to be seen.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been Mbappe’s childhood idol.
Mbappe has previously spoken of his admiration for Ronaldo – and even had posters of the Portuguese icon all over his bedroom wall as a kid and went to Madrid to visit his hero.
Kylian Mbappe speaks on Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi comparisons
French striker Mbappe has admitted that Messi and Ronaldo – who have shared a remarkable 12 Ballon d’Or titles between them – have ‘broken all the laws of statistics’.
The young PSG forward has established himself as one of football’s elite players but believes that comparisons to Messi and Ronaldo demonstrates ‘a lack of awareness’.
Having become the world’s second most expensive transfer aged 18 and starring in France’s World Cup success the following year, Mbappe has always appeared to be destined to join football’s greats.
Mbappe explained in a wide-ranging interview with Esquire that he knows that the level reached by Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘incomparable’ compared to anyone else in the sport.
“I’m not the only one who knows,” Mbappe explained.
Mbappe about Ronaldo and Mbappe on Messi: Has Kylian Mbappe changed his mind about CR7 vs Messi goat debate?
No. Kylian Mbappe is just trying to be nice and respectful to his legendary PSG teammate Leo Messi, but that doesn’t mean he rates Messsi above CR7. Mbappe’s goal celebrations show that he still has so much respect for Ronaldo, that is why he wants to go to Real Madrid and break records like Ronaldo.

Does Mbappe Think Messi is Better than Cristiano Ronaldo?
Mbappe has not officially said Messi is the greatest GOAT of all time. In fact, he does not think Messi is better than Ronaldo.
It’s very unlikely Kylian Mbappe is no longer a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, he might even still think the Manchester United star CR7 is his favorite player. But Leo Messi just managed to make himself a space inside Kylian Mbappe’s heart. Where people felt him cold and distant at the beginning, they now feel a player who loves having Messi around. This entire opinion might change even further if Messi somehow manages to win the UEFA Champions League with PSG this season and lifts the title with Mbappe by his side. Should this happen, anything is possible in regards to Mbappe’s future at the French club.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker is establishing himself as one of football’s greatest players but believes comparing him to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is premature for now.
Who is No 1 footballer Messi or Ronaldo?
Mbappe says ronaldo is one of the best footballers he admires a lot.
What did Mbappe said about Messi and Ronaldo?
Kylian Mbappe said he – like any other player – he uses Messi and Ronaldo as a benchmark for the standards that are expected and for how he can push on his own game.
Mbappe said, “You always compare yourself to the best in your sport, just as the baker compares himself to the best bakers around him. Who makes the best croissant, the best pain au chocolat?
“I watch the games of other great players to see what they do. I know how to do this, but can the others do it too?
“I think other players are watching me too. I think that pushes footballers to elevate their game.”
Mbappe vs Haaland football careers are set to emulate Messi and Mbappe’s rivalry. With both Messi and Ronaldo approaching retirement, it’s time to start looking at which young superstars could follow in their footsteps.
French superstar Mbappe is the second most expensive player of all-time, has already won four league titles – one for Monaco and three for Paris Saint-Germain. He’s also a World Cup winner – something that Ronaldo and Messi can’t say.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
