The World Cup is upon us, and Lionel Messi has been in the headlines once again as he continues to lead Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to success. The Argentine star, who was named man of the match during the final against Bayern Munich, scored a hat-trick in the quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.

However, it's not just about Messi's goal-scoring ability that has made him such a force to be reckoned with. He also stands out for his leadership qualities on the pitch, which has helped PSG win numerous trophies over the years.

As for Mbappe, he may have taken the headlines earlier this week when he scored his first international goal for France against Germany. However, he has yet to impress in major tournaments like the Champions League or the FIFA World Cup, which could explain why he hasn't had the same level of success as Messi.

Despite this, Mbappe remains one of the most talented players in world football. His ability to score goals from anywhere on the pitch has earned him widespread praise and respect among fans and opponents alike.

It's worth noting that Mbappe's success has come at a cost to PSG. Despite his talent, the French club has struggled to compete with their rivals, who are consistently strong in Europe and beyond. This lack of competition has affected the team's performance and has led to some criticism from supporters and media.

Overall, while Mbappe has had his share of success, it's important to remember that he still has a long way to go in order to become the next great player to emerge from France. And while Messi is widely regarded as the best player in the world, there are many other players who have contributed significantly to the success of their respective clubs.
