Ever since the World Cup 2022, the relationship between Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe has been highly debated. Many believe that Messi and Mbappe’s relationship has deteriorated since they faced each other in the World Cup final. However, Mbappe seems to have put those confusions aside as he recently posted a picture alongside the Argentine talisman.
Mbappe posted a picture where he was having a rather light moment with his PSG teammate, Lionel Messi. This picture has led the fans to believe that Mbappe has finally “seen the light“, having recognized the greatness of Lionel Messi. Over the years, Mbappe has considered Messi’s rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, as his idol. However, after the recent post, fans believe Mbappe has changed his stance.
Moreover, as per MARCA, after a Champions League match against Club Brugge last year, Mbappe said, “It’s easy to play with Lionel Messi. He’s the best player in the world. He won the Ballon d’Or a few days ago. He scored two goals today, he is happy, and I hope he will help us in the future.” This sudden change of allegiance has caught a lot of fans by surprise.
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe’s bromance ends all doubt
The aftermath of Lionel Messi’s World Cup victory raised a lot of eyebrows regarding his relationship with Mbappe. Kylian Mbappe was heavily insulted and mocked by a few Argentine players, excluding Messi, during the trophy celebrations. Even when Lionel Messi was received by a guard of honor at the PSG training grounds following his World Cup glory, Mbappe remained absent.
In addition to this, Kylian Mbappe’s brother, Ethan Mbappe, was present during the guard of honor, but his facial expression revealed the true story. Ethan Mbappe’s cold and sinister look did raise rumors of a broken relationship between Messi and Mbappe. However, Messi and Mbappe’s latest bromance has certainly rubbished those claims now, and the fans especially love it. One fan even commented “Mbappé can be really cute sometimes ngl. I’m happy that he and Leo get along.”
Mbappe’s “cute” picture with Messi comes as a good sign for PSG. As the Bayern Munich clash looms ahead, PSG will need their stars, Messi and Mbappe, to be on top form. To pile up to PSG’s misery, Neymar Jr’s recent ankle injury might see the Brazilian star missing the crucial match against Bayern in the Champions League next month.
