Mbappé’s interview was very open, according to the newspaper AS (Spain), showing that this star is gradually overcoming the pressure at Real Madrid after a difficult time. This 25-year-old striker also did not hesitate to talk about the “frozen” time with Messi after the 2022 World Cup.

“After the World Cup final, when I saw Messi at PSG training, I was still very angry,” Mbappé admitted. “But he told me: I already won the championship before and now it’s your turn. I was very angry, but you have to respect him because he’s Messi. We broke the silence by laughing together because we fought so hard in the final. We created memories of that historic final. I think that final brought us closer together,” Mbappé added.

Mbappé also said: “I have actually learned a lot from Messi since we played together at PSG. Messi does everything very well. You can learn a lot from a person like that. I often go up to him and ask him: “How do you do this?” or “How can you do that?”

According to AS newspaper: “The revelation of the secret of the relationship between Mbappé and Messi shows that the relationship between them is entirely positive, not a tense confrontation as previously reported by the French press. Especially since the 2022 World Cup final, when Argentina won on penalties (3-3 draw in the main and extra rounds).

Mbappé also confirmed: “I always dreamed of Real Madrid, I knew I would succeed here. Real Madrid welcomed me like a king, even though I didn’t do anything for them. It was incredible. So far, I’m very happy with this. “A new chapter in my career. I want to win and this is the right place.”
