“I had the opportunity to observe Messi.” “I was still experiencing considerable anger…”: Mbappé elucidates his relationship with the Argentine icon, asserting, “We have reconciled.”

Lionel Messi concluded his tenure at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 under less than favorable circumstances.

Notwithstanding his triumph in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, he faced considerable derision from the Paris Saint-Germain supporters.

He signed with Miami on July 15, 2023, on a free transfer, entering into a two-and-a-half-year contract, and has since established himself as the club’s all-time leading goal-scorer.

In the 2022 World Cup, Lionel Messi and the Argentine national team faced Kylian Mbappé’s French team in the final match held in Qatar.

France was the defending champion, having triumphed over Argentina in the Round of 16 during their title campaign in Russia.

The match unfolded as a fiercely contested encounter, with Argentina launching an aggressive offensive from the outset.

They established a 2-0 advantage in the first half, as Lionel Messi successfully converted a penalty and Ángel Di María finished a well-executed team maneuver.

It appeared that Argentina was on course for a straightforward victory; however, Mbappé had alternative intentions and equalized the match within a span of two minutes.

Initially, the Frenchman successfully converted a penalty in the 80th minute, followed by an exquisite volley in the 81st minute.

The match concluded with a score of 2-2 at the conclusion of regulation time. In the course of extra time, Argentina took a 3-2 lead, with Messi successfully converting a close-range opportunity in the 108th minute.

Once more, it appeared that the CONMEBOL team would emerge victorious; however, France was awarded a penalty in the 118th minute, which Mbappé successfully converted, thereby completing his hat-trick.

France narrowly evaded a penalty shootout when Kolo Muani faced goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in a one-on-one situation during the final minute; however, his effort was thwarted by the goalkeeper’s save.

During the penalty shootout, Argentina’s custodian, Emiliano Martinez, demonstrated exceptional skill by successfully saving the attempts of Aurelien Tchouameni and Kingsley Coman, contributing to a 4-2 victory in the shootout.

In a recent interview on French television, Mbappé was inquired about the World Cup final and his response to Messi’s presence during PSG training following the defeat.

“Following the conclusion of the World Cup final, upon observing Messi during a training session at PSG, I found myself still experiencing considerable anger.”

However, he informed me that I had previously secured the victory, and that it was now his opportunity to claim it.

I was incensed; however, one must acknowledge the deference afforded to him due to his status as Messi. We established rapport through shared laughter, having previously engaged in a conflict.

We forged lasting memories from the final event. I believe that the conclusion ultimately fostered a greater sense of unity among us.
