Kylian Mbappe got the ball on the left flank at the end of the first half and was up against a defender. PSG, on the other hand, had built an overload, with both Neymar and Messi coming outside the area.

Leo Messi has supplied four assists to Kylian Mbappe this season. Though, it seems like the Frenchman is not happy with Leo Messi’s finishing lately.

While it’s difficult to believe Mbappe holds a grudge against Messi for not passing the ball to him, the idea that the Frenchman prefers to go it alone isn’t far-fetched.

    You do understand that Mbappe is trying to win the Ballon D’or? He knows Messi is not the old Messi from Barca. He knows he has a much better chance if he goes it alone. Messi days are over, let the young man enjoy his future trophies. Messi had his day and it now is coming to an end, he is not a machine, unlike CR7.
