Mbappé Predicts Messi Will Shine Against Spain in World Cup Final

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.

Do you think Messi's experience can really outshine Mbappé's scoring form in the final against Spain?

Absolutely, Messi's calm under pressure and decades of finals experience could be decisive, even with Mbappé scoring freely.

It's interesting that Mbappé downplayed his own record but still expects Messi to step up on Sunday.

I'm not convinced Messi's recent form guarantees he'll shine, especially against a strong Spain defense.

Maybe France should focus on team strategy rather than individual matchups to contain Spain in the final.
