Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sensation Kylian Mbappe opens up about missing the magical partnership with Lionel Messi, highlighting the unique gift the Argentine legend brought to the pitch, reported by GOAL. Messi, an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, made a high-profile move to the French capital in 2021, only to depart as a free agent two years later, opting for a new challenge with MLS side Inter Miami.

Despite the difficulties in winning over PSG’s demanding fan base, Messi’s creative genius made an indelible impression on his colleagues. Mbappe frequently benefited from Messi’s ability to break down defenses and shared his feelings regarding the Argentine legend. Mbappe acknowledged the special bond in an interview with Amazon Prime Sport, stating, “Playing with Leo Messi is something I miss a lot.” You always miss not being able to play with Leo Messi! For an ɑttɑϲker like me who likes to ɑttɑϲk spaces, he assures you that you will get the ball. It was a luxury that practically only he could provide. 

Messi scored 32 goals in 75 appearances for PSG, contributing heavily to the club’s two Ligue 1 titles. Mbappe, on the other hand, has taken over as the main man in Paris, following the departure of Brazilian superstar Neymar to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, who is presently rehabilitating from knee ligament damage.

As PSG’s ɑttɑϲking force continues to thrive, Kylian Mbappe’s loving recollections on playing with Lionel Messi highlight the impact of the great forward on his career and the special moments they shared on the pitch.
