Kylian Mbappe may have emerged victorious in the battle between him and Leo messi in the eighth round of the Champions League, but the young Frenchman hurried to show his respect for the Argentine legend after the second round.
Shortly after the 5-2 draw in favor of PSG, Mbappe he took to social media to upload a picture of himself MESS on the field.
Mbappe added two emojis that seem to indicate praise and respect for Messi.
Some cynics believe that in the ongoing dispute over Messi’s future, Mbappe made a gesture to suggest that he would be willing to play in the same team as the Argentine.
However, it is not new for Mbappe to publicly express his respect for the game’s legends.
After France clashed with Portugal, Mbappe again posted a post on social media, this time with photos alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Idol,” Mbappe wrote at the time, with a goat’s emoji and a king’s crown.
After the match against Barcelona in Paris, Mbappe changed shirts with a teenage star Pedram.
