World Cup: Kylian Mbappe Believes Cristiano Ronaldo Is the GOAT, Not Lionel Messi

There is a debate on who is the real GOAT for soccer: Argentina's Lionel Messi or Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo? However, for French superstar Kylian Mbappe, there is a clear winner of that title... and it is not his Paris Saint-Germaine (PSG) Teammate and upcoming World Cup final opponent Lionel Messi.

According to The Mirror, Paris Saint-Germain defender Abdou Diallo has stated that Mbappe thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is the real GOAT. The PSG defender says that Mbappe thinks Ronaldo is "well clear" of the Argentinian in that debate.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Diallo revealed "Cristiano Ronaldo is literally everything to Kylian Mbappe." He added that if somebody even mentions the Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo debate, Mbappe will debate that person for at least an hour, saying "Cristiano is untouchable."

The interview comes as the PSG Big Three of Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe may be parting ways, with Messi potentially going to Inter Milan while Real Madrid is interested in Mbappe.

Lionel Messi Could End Debate With World Cup Win

The debate on who is better between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is still raging but Messi winning the World Cup for the first time in his career might end the debate entirely. With Ronaldo already aging and at the twilight of his career, it seems that the Portuguese legend would never be able to lift the World Cup. However, this Sunday, his rival has a chance to do something Ronaldo can never do.

While Mbappe could debate for an hour about this, a World Cup is something that might end the debate right then and there.

Currently, many feel Messi is the best as he has a record seven Ballon d'Or awards, while Cristiano Ronaldo only has five. Meanwhile, Messi has already delivered the Copa America to Argentina, while Ronaldo has won the European Championship for Portugal. However, neither of them has won the World Cup.

Kylian Mbappe Tried Getting Rid of Argentinian Teammates From Paris Saint-Germaine, Now He Will be Facing Them

While Messi and Ronaldo still do not have World Cups, Kylian Mbappe himself already has one, as France is the defending champions.

Now, many find that for Argentina to get its third World Cup, the one standing in their way is not only Messi's teammate and a defending World Cup champion, but the one who tried getting rid of some of their players while playing for PSG.

Mbappe previously played with Leandro Paredes and Angel Di Maria over at PSG, but Marca reported that Mbappe wanted his Argentinian teammates out. It was reported that since he renewed his contract with the club, he has since become the "master and lord" of PSG and campaigned to get rid of all his Argentinian teammates and coaching staff.

Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino, who managed PSG, was fired and replaced with Christophe Galtier. This followed the exits of Leandro Paredes and Angel Di Maria, as well as another Argentine who is not in the World Cup, Mauro Icardi. The only Argentinian left in the PSG squad is Lionel Messi.
