“Messi Does Everything Well, I Learned So Much From Him” – Mbappé
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé has expressed his admiration for Lionel Messi, emphasizing that the Argentine legend is a master of the game who excels in every aspect on the pitch.
Reflecting on their time as teammates at Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé spoke candidly about the invaluable lessons he learned from the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.
“Messi does everything well,” Mbappé shared in an interview with Clique TV.
“You can learn everything from a guy like that. I used to go up to him and ask: ‘How do you do this? How do you do that?’”
Their partnership at PSG, which lasted from 2021 to 2023, was a period that saw the two world-class forwards share not just titles, but moments of mutual respect and learning.
Together, they secured back-to-back French Ligue 1 titles, among other domestic honors.
While their styles differ, Mbappé known for his blistering pace and clinical finishing, and Messi celebrated for his vision, technique, and playmaking, the combination made PSG one of Europe’s most formidable attacking forces.
Mbappé’s admiration for Messi extends beyond just his skillset.
For the French forward, watching the Argentine work his magic up close was a masterclass in footballing intelligence and composure.
“It wasn’t just about what he did with the ball.
His understanding of the game, the way he reads situations and makes decisions, is something you don’t see often,” Mbappé explained.
Since leaving PSG, both players have embarked on new journeys.
Mbappé now dons the famous white jersey of Real Madrid, ready to take on a fresh challenge in La Liga.
Meanwhile, Messi, who left PSG in 2023, has brought his talents to Major League Soccer with Inter Miami.
The move has elevated MLS’s profile, with Messi’s presence drawing global attention to American soccer.
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
Former Manchester City player David Silva has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or and revealed who he believes could win the prestigious award.
During a recent interview, the former midfielder was asked who he thinks will win the award, and he named Fabian Ruiz.
Silva’s choice sparked reactions from fans, especially as he did not mention Barcelona star Lamine Yamal as one of his picks.
“For me, teamwork is the most important thing, because without it you cannot win. If I had to give the Ballon d’Or to someone, it would be Fabian, because he has won the most titles in the last two years.
“He does not get enough recognition, I do not know why, because he is a wonderful player. I admire him a lot.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with the Portugal national team remains uncertain following his sudden departure from the squad ahead of the team’s Nations League match against Denmark.
The 41-year-old forward left the national team camp after he was left on the bench during Portugal’s 2-1 win over Norway and was informed that he would not start against Denmark. Ronaldo later said he would explain his decision to leave the camp at a later time.
Portugal coach Jorge Jesus has since said the door remains open for Ronaldo to return to the national team. Jesus said the decision ultimately rests with Ronaldo, while the Portuguese Football Federation has also described the situation as a misunderstanding.
Ronaldo remains Portugal’s all-time leading scorer, with 146 goals in 234 appearances, and his next decision could determine how his international career ends.
