Some events and moments need more than a fortune to occur. It’s the end of a very emotional Paris Saint-Germain era after Kylian Mbappe’s departure at the end of the season. But instead of being sad, he chose to be grateful for all the years. After all the tense moments over the past year, France’s national team captain is expected to land at Real Madrid. However, before leaving, Mbappe did not forget to remember Lionel Messi in his farewell speech, pleasantly surprising the fans.

There may have been some tough situations for Mbappe and Messi together at PSG but the mutual respect is clearly evident.  After announcing that he would not extend his stay, Mbappe said, “I had the chance and the great honor to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to arrive here to have my first experience in a club with a lot of pressure to grow as a player of course, by being alongside some of the best in history, some of the greatest champions,” remembering his time with Messi and other stars for PSG.

It was a moment of terror for other teams when Lionel Messi arrived to join Mbappe and Neymar in Paris. Even though they did not win the Champions League, they won the league title twice with some incredible goals and assists. Leo played 67 games alongside Mbappe and provided 20 assists to the French player’s goals while scoring 14 from his passes, making a deadly combination. Hence, it wasn’t just Mbappe but also the fans who were left emotional.

Fans’ witty brain catch cryptic Kylian Mbappe message

Meanwhile, it took decoding from the fans to note the tribute to Messi, as Kylian Mbappe does not mention his name in the video. But buffs were certain it was the Argentine captain expressing their views on X (previously Twitter).

One fan thanked the club for bringing both of them together, irrespective of his dislike for the French club. The Parisians are sometimes accused of not winning European trophies despite buying the best players like Ronaldinho, David Beckham, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, among others.

This fan feels that the Frenchman is generous in giving Messi his due. Mbappe earlier said that he missed playing with the stars and once again remembers those days. This is also the second time Mbappe has included Messi in the list of GOATs.

One netizen thinks that he acknowledged the 8-time Ballon d’Or winner’s greatness. Usually, some fans claim Mbappe is self-centered while playing with Neymar and Messi. But there is another side to every story.

Meanwhile, one netizen wants Mbappe to mention the legend’s name. Even though PSG had quite a few superstars earlier, the user, knowing who it is, wants to hear the World Cup winner’s name.

One user chose to take a dig at the PSG fans, accusing them of hatred. PSG Ultras are known to be harsh on the players booing them. Although Mbappe did not face much heat, Lionel Messi was on the receiving end and was claimed to not be committed to the club.

In summary, the notion that Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi shared a cold relationship seems to have cleared. Both stars have moved away from PSG to embrace a new challenge. But it looks like their legacy in soccer will keep them connected forever.
