Accustomed to piling up goals and records, Kylian Mbappé is in constant reflection on his role and his game.
With 300 career goals at 24, Kylian Mbappé is among the greatest scorers in history. While Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have crossed the 800-goal mark, the Bondy prodigy is clearly following in the footsteps of the two greatest footballers of the contemporary era.
In his youth, Kylian Mbappé often expressed his admiration for CR7. But by playing alongside Messi, the Paris Saint-Germain star also recognizes that the Argentinian is a great source of inspiration. Particularly for his ability to adapt his game.
‘Messi was not the same player he was at Barcelona’
“ You know, it’s football that dictates its time, that dictates its tempo. If you don’t change, football will move on to something else and you will be forgotten. Even the greatest have had to change things“, underlined Kylian Mbappé in comments given to TF1 this week.
“ I played with Leo (Messi) and he, for example, changed his game. In Paris he was not the same player as he was in Barcelona and that’s what allowed him to win a World Cup , collective and individual titles“, remarked the captain of the France team.
