Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe live two different realities in their national teams.
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe live two different realities in their national teams.

Lionel Messi was honored by Conmebol, on a special day, where Alejandro Domínguez, president of the governing body of South American football, described him as the "best player in history." In addition, Soledad Pastorutti moved everyone with the song dedicated to the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7). For his part, Kylian Mbappé was criticized by the newspaper L'Équipe, despite France's victory over Ireland.

The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) paid tribute to the last world champion, with Lionel Messi being the main center of attention. The 'Flea' will have a statue in the organization's museum and showed his gratitude for the displays of affection he had after winning the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored seven goals and gave three assists.

While Messi lives a dream in South America, Kylian Mbappé was surprisingly criticized by L'Équipe. The sports newspaper analyzed France's victory over Ireland and went against the new French captain, who had no major significance and obtained the lowest rating in the team led by Didier Deschamps.

How much did L'Équipe put on Kylian Mbappé?

On the second day of the Euro Cup Qualifiers, France defeated the Irish by the slightest difference and the media gave a rating of '3' to 'Donatello'. Along with Théo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud, the PSG figure, who is a teammate of Lionel Messi, was the lowest scorer.
