Mbappe makes a turn around declare Messi the best player in the world

Kylian Mbappe has explained his decision to let Leo Messi take the penalty that he won during the match against RB Leipzig.

"It's normal. It's respect. There was a penalty, he took it and scored. He's the best player in the world. He comes to our team, it's a privilege that he comes to play with us," the Paris Saint-Germain forward responded.

These words definitely come as a surprise considering that Mbappe is known to be a big Cristiano Ronaldo fan as he idolized the Portuguese during his formative years.

Nevertheless, the Barcelona legend scored the penalty and put PSG 3-2 ahead, with the Parisians trailing 2-1 at a point during the match.

Later on, PSG won another penalty, and Messi returned the favour by letting Mbappe take it while being one goal off of a hat-trick. By the way, Kylian missed his penalty.
