Kylian Mbappé talks about the CR7-Messi rivalry

In an interview with Sorare, Kylian Mbappé spoke about the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Both men left their mark on world football for more than a decade. And for the Frenchman, this rivalry had something special because everything opposed the two stars.

“Messi or Ronaldo? I played with both of them. Cristiano is my idol but Messi also I played with him. Having faced both, they are very different. I think their rivalry was good because there is everything that opposes them. The left-handed, the right-handed, big, small, finer, rougher, more impactful, the other vista. Without condescension, one person’s delusion is talent, the other’s work, it’s something for a guy who doesn’t play football. If you can tell me that CR7 has no talent or that Messi hasn’t worked, it’s because you’ve never in your life worn crampons to go play football. I can’t understand how you might have this thought. »
