Can Kylian Mbappe ever hope to achieve Lionel Messi’s God-like status? And will he have to leave PSG to do so? Sportsmail’s Chris Sutton and Ian Herbert debate the French star in today’s WORLD CUP CONFIDENTIAL
Two players have dominated the build-up to Sunday’s World Cup final between France and Argentina.
Lionel Messi, at the age of 35, has the opportunity to cement his legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time by claiming the one prize he has always coveted above all else.
Kylian Mbappe, meanwhile, has the chance to win a second World Cup winners’ medal and all by the age of 24.
Kylian Mbappe will win the World Cup for the second time if France defeat Argentina
Messi is still missing a World Cup medal but will hope to put that right on Sunday
One of the two Paris Saint-Germain team-mates will be bitterly disappointed come Sunday night.
In his Daily Mail column on Saturday, Graeme Souness argues that even if Mbappe wins another World Cup, he cannot ever hope to be in the same league as Messi when it comes to greatness.
And that is the main topic of discussion in Saturday’s edition of World Cup Confidential as Ian Herbert and Chris Sutton debate whether Mbappe can achieve his full potential at PSG.
Also in today’s episode:
- Rob Draper discusses the virus running through the France camp and asks whether the situation is being exaggerated to unsettle Argentina
