“Mbappe has the greatest football century ahead, but he is unlikely to repeat what Messi did” – Mostovoy

Former Russian national team player Alexander Mostovoy believes that at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the best footballer was the Argentine Lionel Messi, and the Frenchman Kylian Mbappe is ahead of the “greatest football century.”

Argentina won the World Cup on Sunday after beating France 3-3, 4-2 on penalties in a penalty shoot-out. Messi was named the best player of the tournament, Mbappe was the top scorer with eight goals.

– The best scorer and player should be the players who reach the final. Both the best player and the best scorer reached the final. For me, Messi is the best player in this tournament. His contribution to the victory was more significant. He scored many goals, thanks to which the team won. The whole game was built through Messi.

As for Mbappe, until the 76th minute we did not see France with him on the field, and what happened after that was fantastic. Mbappe has the greatest age of football ahead of him. He is already one of the best players in the world. Another thing is that he is unlikely to repeat what Messi did in the football world, – Mostovoy is quoted by the Championship.
