Is Kylian Mbappe still the king of Paris? Messi thinks otherwise.
Is Kylian Mbappe still the king of Paris? Messi thinks otherwise.

The French press insisted on installing that Kylian Mbappé is more than Lionel Messi since the captain of the Argentine team arrived at PSG back in 2021. However, the Qatar 2022 World Cup and the statistics of this season put into question question these claims. Now, a new award put the detractors of Rosario in check.

This Monday, May 8, the Laureus awards ceremony was held in Paris. Due to his great year, the captain of the Argentine team was named the best athlete in the world above some superstars such as Mbappé himself, Stephen Curry, Rafael Nadal or Max Verstappen.

This new recognition confirms Messi as the king of the French capital. And it is that Leo had also recently been awarded in Paris, more precisely at the FIFA The Best awards with the award for best player in the world. On that occasion he surpassed Mbappé himself and another French soccer figure, Karim Benzema.

Lionel Messi has a juicy offer to leave Paris

The 'Flea' will look back when he finishes his career and will have a bittersweet taste when remembering his stay in France. On the one hand, he will remember with a smile the fact that as a PSG player he won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a The Best award and a Laureus trophy. However, he will also lament the catcalls and insults from the fans of his own club. Now, it is almost a fact that he will leave and Al-Hilal already has a contract of 400 million per season prepared for him.
