Once again, Kylian Mbappé’s remarks have resonated all the way to South America. After stating that the Euros were harder to win than the World Cup, the Bondy-born player received a scathing response from Lionel Messi.
In a recent statement, Kylian Mbappé claimed he would rather win the Euros than the World Cup, further asserting that the Euros are tougher than the global tournament. Drawing from his experience of winning the World Cup in 2018 and falling short in the Euros, Mbappé seems confident in his stance.
Lionel Messi’s Response
Lionel Messi, Mbappé’s former teammate at Paris Saint-Germain and the winner of the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, wasted no time in reacting. For Messi, nothing compares to the magic of winning a World Cup. “Mbappé said the Euros were harder than the World Cup? He also said that South American teams didn’t have the same level of competition as European teams. Everyone values what they play for.
The Euros are very important, but they overlook Argentina, three-time World Cup champions, Brazil, five-time World Cup champions, Uruguay, two-time World Cup champions.
There are many World Cup winners left out to say that the Euros are the toughest, isn’t it? In the World Cup, the best teams are present, all the World Cup champions are there. That’s why everyone wants to be a World Cup champion,” he stated to ESPN.
The new star of Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé, might not appreciate Messi’s sharp retort.
