This detail about Mbappé disproves rumors of his bad relationship with Messi

Lionel Messi has assured on several occasions that his time at Paris Saint-Germain was not positive. He was there for two years, between 2021 and 2023, after the Barcelona chiefs announced that they could not renew his contract because of the serious financial problems they were experiencing. The choice of the French side was mainly due to the fact that some of his friends such as Neymar Junior, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes were there, and that the club had very ambitious sporting objectives.

But things did not turn out as expected. After the failure in the Champions League during the first season, the chiefs decided to get rid of Di Maria and Paredes, among other players. And Neymar was injured for a long time. That's why they again had a disappointing performance the following year in the European tournament and that caused the anger of the fans, who whistled and insulted Leo in several matches.

In addition, in newspapers, TV shows and social media there were rumors about the alleged bad relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi. In fact, some speculated that the departure of the South American players from the club in the last transfer windows had been a demand from 'Kiki' to the club's chiefs.

However, both players have denied these rumors at every opportunity. And recently a detail came to light that shows that they have a good relationship with each other. The French striker and his mother Fayza Lamari gave an interview to Envoyé Spécial that was conducted at a property owned by the family in Paris. In one of the shots, Lamari can be seen talking and behind her is hanging on the wall a jersey of the Argentina National Team with the number 10 and Messi's name, which both players exchanged at the end of the round of 16 match of the Russia 2018 World Cup.
