Kylian Mbappe admitted that he never expected to share the pitch with Lionel Messi.
In an interview with “Movistar Plus”, the French star said that the opportunity to play alongside the Argentine legend at Paris Saint-Germain was something he could not even imagine.
“I was lucky to play with Leo Messi. He is a completely normal person who respects everyone. I never thought I would have this chance because my dream has always been Real Madrid. "I never imagined myself wearing the Barcelona team, of course," admitted the "royal club" striker.
During their time at PSG, Mbappe and Messi played 67 games together in all competitions, combining for 34 goals. The two, along with Neymar, helped the Parisians win two consecutive French titles, but they never managed to bring home the long-awaited Champions League trophy.
After the end of the 2022/23 season, Messi left PSG as a free agent and joined Inter Miami, and a year later Mbappe did the same, fulfilling his childhood dream with a transfer to Real Madrid.
“Playing with Messi was an honor. It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life.“ — concluded the French superstar.
