Mbappe amazed by Messi

Kylian Mbappe's comments reveal that Lionel Messi's core difference from the rest doesn't lie in moments of genius, but in his repeated perfection.

Messi's exceptional skills have astonished Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe recently offered a rare glimpse into Lionel Messi, not through big matches, but from training sessions at PSG. What surprised the French star wasn't Messi's technique or fame, but the almost absolute consistency in every move he made.

During the MNM (Mbappe - Neymar - Messi) era, Mbappe and Neymar were often the standout performers in shooting drills. However, the arrival of Messi completely changed the norm.

According to Mbappe, in a practice match involving 10 shots, he and Neymar scored 6 to 7 goals. That's already impressive at the highest level. But Messi did something even more incredible: he took 9 shots and scored all 9 goals, using the same finishing technique.

This detail highlights Messi's unique nature. He doesn't need constant variations to be effective. Instead, he repeats the same optimal strategy to perfection. That's what overwhelms even other outstanding players.

Mbappe admitted he looked at Messi with amazement, as if he were witnessing a different standard of football. That feeling was particularly noteworthy because it came from one of the best players in history.

Messi concluded his two seasons with PSG (2021-2023) with 75 appearances, 32 goals, and 35 assists, along with two Ligue 1 titles and one French Super Cup. However, the Parisian club completely failed in the Champions League despite the high expectations placed upon them during this period.

Messi enjoys a homecoming stroll. In just the first half of the match against Zambia, Messi proved to the world that he is truly ready to defend his World Cup title.
