Mbappé Predicts Messi Will Shine Against Spain in World Cup Final
France captain Kylian Mbappé downplayed his new all-time World Cup scoring record and tipped former PSG teammate Lionel Messi to respond in Sunday’s final against Spain. Mbappé’s brace in the third-place play-off lifted his tournament tally to 10 goals and his overall World Cup haul to 22, briefly moving him past Messi at the top of the charts. Yet he insisted individual honours mean little compared to winning the title. “Leo Messi will score also tomorrow! He always delivers,” Mbappé told reporters, emphasising the mutual respect forged during their time together in Paris. Messi heads into the final with eight goals, just one away from matching Mbappé’s record and two from reclaiming the lead as Argentina chase back-to-back world crowns.
