Kylian Mbappe tipped to win Ballon d'Or after Lionel Messi

Emiliano Martinez, who has been in the spotlight for his celebrations after the FIFA World Cup, has tipped Kylian Mbappe to win many Ballon d'Or awards in the future. He claims that the PSG star just needs to wait for Lionel Messi to retire as the Argentine is still the best in the world.

Emi Martínez on the chants about Mbappé:

“The locker room thing is a locker room thing. When France beat us in 2018, there were chants about Messi. If a team beats Brazil, they will sing about Neymar. I’ve nothing personal against Mbappé. I respect him enormously...” https://t.co/JUzoiHwZ1z

Speaking about the chants and celebrations, Martinez claimed it was normal for a team to celebrate by mocking their opponents. He recalled the France chants against Messi in 2018 and said:

"It's a locker room thing, It should never have come out. When France beat us in 2018, I remember there were chants about Messi [involving N'Golo Kante]. Same thing, if a team beats Brazil, they'll be singing about Neymar."

Continuing to talk about Mbappe and the possibility of winning the Ballon d'Or, Martinez added:

"There's nothing personal against Mbappe. I respect him a lot. If people sing about him or Neymar, it's because they are top players. After the final, I told him that it was a pleasure to play against him and that he almost won the match on his own... I had confirmation that he has immense talent. When Messi retires, I am sure Kylian will win many Ballon d'Or awards."

Kylian Mbappe and Messi are on the same page at PSG despite their rivalry in the FIFA World Cup final.
