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

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

Also according to Mbappe: “In fact, I have learned a lot from Messi since we played together at PSG. Messi does everything very well. You can learn a lot from someone like that. I often go to him and ask, “how do you do this?” or “how can you do that?”…

According to AS : “The revelation of the secret in the relationship between Mbappe and Messi shows that their relationship is completely positive, not a tense confrontation as the French press previously reported. Especially since the 2022 World Cup final when the Argentine team beat the French team on penalties (3-3 draw in regular and extra time). Besides, there was a series of tense controversies that followed.”

Mbappe also confirmed: “I always dreamed of Real Madrid, I knew I would succeed here. Real Madrid welcomed me like a king, even though I did nothing for them. It’s unbelievable. So far, I’m very happy with the new chapter in my career. I want to win and this is the right place.”
