After Messi was announced as the winner, the PSG star turned to Mbappe before his wife and shook his hands. Messi’s gesture toward Mbappe made it seem like he was trying to kiss the French star. After shaking hands with Mbappe, Messi turned to Antonella, who then congratulated her husband. However, Messi seemed to laugh off the awkward moment with his PSG teammate before he went up to collect the award.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe’s awkward moment during the FIFA Best Awards has sent the fans into a frenzy. The clip of Messi trying to “kiss” Mbappe has gone viral on the Internet. Thousands of fans have shared the clip on social media platforms, providing hilarious reactions and comments.
