Mbappé admits he misses Messi at PSG: Playing with him was special, only he can give you such luxury

Kylian Mbappé is scoring goal after goal this season and his personality is more important than ever for PSG. Even last year, he had Lionel Messi by his side, for example, supplying him with passes. It is the legendary Argentine who is missing from his team.

After the end of last season, he lost several star teammates. Neymar, Marco Verratti, Sergio Ramos and the best footballer on the planet, Lionel Messi, with whom Kylian Mbappé clashed in the final of the World Cup in Qatar.

The phenomenal Argentine led his country to the title of world champions and was voted the best player of the tournament in Qatar, which was probably the main reason why he won his eighth Ballon d’Or. He wasn’t praised as much for his performances at PSG, even though he played fantastically.

In fact, Messi didn’t score as many goals in Paris as he used to. Instead, he took more of a passing role and created chances for his teammates. Mbappé, in particular, benefited from this, but apart from converting many of them, he also burned quite a few.

Either way, the French footballer benefited from working with the best footballer in history. Now he has lamented and admitted that he really misses the current ace of Inter Miami.

I miss Messi a lot, admits Mbappé

In the two seasons that Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé played together in Paris, the French striker scored a stunning 80 competitive goals. In that respect, the Argentine has been somewhat overshadowed by the Argentine, but the Barcelona legend has racked up 35 assists in that time, and had Mbappé and his teammates been a little more efficient, there could have been more.

At the moment, the Frenchman doesn’t have that luxury of service. He still scores goals in spades, but he’s working harder for them.

“Playing with Messi is something I miss a lot. I will always miss him. For a striker like me, who likes to attack in open spaces, it was great to be sure of getting the ball,” Goal quotes him as saying.

“It was a luxury that only Leo can give you. Playing with him was simply something special,” Mbappé added.
