While Mbappe believes he is the favorite in the World Cup, what Messi said about Argentina
The captain of the ‘Albiceleste’ calmly took the great moment that the team directed by Lionel Scaloni lives.
With less than two months to go before the World Cup in Qatar kicks off, the Argentine national team is one of the main favorites to win the title. However, it is not the only favorite, as there are teams that also have a lot to say about the trophy. Such as Brazil, Germany, England, Spain or even the Netherlands have great chances of winning the cup.
In this context, Lionel Messi spoke about the Albiceleste and gave a new lesson to Kylian Mbappe, who months ago said that France is the number one candidate to win the coveted trophy. But the truth is that France has not shown what they're capable of.

A few weeks ago, 'Donatello' spoke about who are the candidates to win the World Cup. He pointed out that France is the main candidate and belittled Argentina and Brazil. The PSG striker said that in South America they do not have strong rivals and that will hurt them in the tournament that will take place in the Middle East.
While Mbappe showed his ego once again, Lionel Messi was cautious when talking about the favoritism of the Argentine national team, which finished the qualifiers undefeated, in addition to having won the Copa América 2021 and Finalissima 2022. The Albiceleste captain gave a lesson in humility to his Parisian teammate.
What did Messi say about Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar?
In an interview with Sebastián Vignolo, the maximum Ballon d'Or winner (7), said: 'I don't know if we are the great candidates but Argentina is always a candidate because of its history, because of what it means. Even more so now that we are here. But I don't think we are the top favorites. There are other teams that are above us today, but we are very close'.
