“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.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has openly admitted that his team has been the worst in the Premier League this season based on results.
Speaking ahead of their Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao, Amorim didn’t hold back in his assessment, following the club’s 16th league loss — a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Brentford.
That defeat marked United’s worst run in 35 years. Still, they have a chance to redeem their season by winning the Europa League and securing a Champions League spot. Amorim said, “Right now, when you look at the Premier League, based on results, we’re the worst side since I came in. That’s how I see it.”
He went on to say that even if United ends up with a European title, this season has been one of the most disappointing in the club’s modern history. “Nothing changes that feeling,” he added. “This has been one of the worst seasons in the last 50 years, and I still feel that way.”
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher had high praise for Lamine Yamal after Barcelona’s dramatic Champions League semi-final clash with Inter Milan ended in heartbreak for the Spanish side on Tuesday night. Carragher called the young Spain international a “superstar” and said he didn’t deserve to be on the losing side after such an outstanding performance.
Inter took an early 2-0 lead through goals from Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu. But Barcelona responded strongly, with Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo leveling the score, before Raphinha fired them ahead. Inter’s Francesco Acerbi made it 3-3 before the game went into extra time, where Davide Frattesi sealed the win for the Serie A giants.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Carragher couldn’t hide his admiration for Yamal’s impact over both legs, saying the teenager came close to snatching victory in regular time and nearly turned the game around in extra time. He added that one of the biggest disappointments of the final in Munich would be not getting to see Yamal on the grand stage, given how exceptional he’s been throughout the tie.
Inter Milan manager Simeone Inzaghi has singled out Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong as the standout player in their Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday.
The thrilling match, which ended 4-3 in favor of Inter after extra time, featured goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Francesco Acerbi. However, it was Davide Fratessi’s extra-time strike that secured Inter’s place in the final.
Inzaghi, speaking after the game, was full of praise for de Jong, who impressed him throughout both legs of the tie. Despite the attention on Barcelona’s young talent, Lamine Yamal, Inzaghi highlighted the Dutch midfielder’s exceptional performance.
“A lot was said about Yamal, but I saw another incredible player over these two matches who wasn’t available the last time we played them,” Inzaghi told Sky Sport Italia. “Frenkie de Jong impressed me just as much as Yamal. He’s brilliant at controlling the ball, his timing with passes is spot-on, and he’s just wonderful to watch.”
Inzaghi added that, while he wouldn’t trade any of his players, he found de Jong to be truly sensational over the two legs.
