Kylian Mbappe’s relationship with Lionel Messi after World Cup loss
Mbappe returned to PSG training on Thursday and finally met the FIFA World Cup 2022 Golden Ball winner Messi. This is three weeks after Mbappe’s France suffered a heartbreaking loss to Messi’s Argentina in the World Cup final.
On December 18, 2022, at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, Messi bagged a brace while Mbappe scored a hattrick to end the match 3-3 after extra time. Argentina, however, prevailed in the penalty shoot-outs due to some Emiliano Martinez heroics.
Following the difficult loss in Qatar, Martinez heavily mocked Mbappe while Messi watched on. However, the 24-year-old sensation came back to training for the club early and went on his vacation when PSG gave a break to a few players. As he was on his break with his favorite clubmate Hakimi, Mbappe missed Messi’s return to training.
On Thursday, Mbappe returned and fans were curious about his first meeting with Messi after the final. According to Le Parisian, the two PSG stars have an understanding and are focused on coexisting and doing well in the second half of the 2022-23 campaign. Their aim is to clinch PSG’s maiden Champions League title.
