At 35, Lionel Messi's lesson in humility to Mbappé and Haaland

For some time now, the idea that Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are already better than Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentine team and who shone at the World Cup in Qatar, has been installed in Europe. However, the current PSG forward gave a lesson in humility to the two young forwards, who are destined to be the successors to the top Ballon d'Or winner (7).

The '10' of the Albiceleste confirmed that he is the best in history by winning the World Cup in Qatar. At 35 years old and with more than a decade of dominance in Europe, they are now trying to put Mbappé and Haaland at the level of the Argentine national team, who, although they stand out in their respective clubs, are still far from surpassing the 'Flea'.

The world champion is barely in third place and narrowly surpassed by the two young elements from the Old Continent.

Leo has 27 goals, compared to 34 for the Frenchman and 32 for the Norwegian. Not bad for the former FC Barcelona player, who was said to have finished before starting the 22-23 season.
