But the Parisian did not hear it that way. Indeed, the Frenchman did not hide his disappointment and took the opportunity to gently attack Lionel Messi.
“ With Kylian, yes. I saw him a few months after the final in Qatar, when PSG went to train and play a match. I was in the locker room, with him, with Messi, with Ney. I congratulated him on the World Cup and he replied: “Noooo, it was that son of a bitch Messi who beat us in the World Cup…” He said it as a joke, as if to say that Leo had won it on his own. »
And to add: “I talked to Kylian a lot, he's a very focused guy: he lost a final and the next day he was already thinking about the next thing he was going to win. He has an incredible mentality. I know him a lot, I have a very good relationship with him and he is a winner, he fights 100%. I am surprised by his seriousness at this age. I have only seen this seriousness in Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. »
