Mbappe became the savior in the first leg of the match between Paris and Real Madrid, and in the context of Messi's penalty, mbappe's ability to decide the game and its importance to the whole of Paris were further highlighted.
In the last week, Mbappe has firmly occupied the pages of the major media, and that killer goal fully demonstrates his strong personal ability. In fact, Mbappe is no longer the same person he was, and he always played a supporting role when he worked with Neymar and Cavani earlier. Later, after making a name for himself at the World Cup in Russia, Mbappe's firing rights in the squad began to improve. Due to Neymar's chronic injury, Mbappe has become the de facto core and leader of Greater Paris.
None of this changed much after Messi's arrival, and due to Messi's slump in Ligue 1, Mbappe began to monopolize power, becoming the only offensive weapon in Pochettino's system. In the Ligue 1 match before the game against Real Madrid, Mbappe also contributed in the last minute to help the team win. The goal reflected his desire for exclusivity.
Before Mbappe scored, Messi had signaled Mbappe to pass the ball back to himself, because Messi was facing the goal and was in a better position, but the French star ignored Messi's request and chose to shoot himself. From this detail, it can be seen that Mbappe is not convinced of Messi from the bottom of his heart, and does not care about how his relationship with him is. Supposedly they would have to work together for at least two more years, and Mbappe was so reckless that the only explanation could be that he had already planned to leave.
Now The Greater Paris has been constantly increasing its contract extensions in an attempt to impress Mbappe, which also reflects from the side that the Greater Paris has not yet dealt with the core. Real Madrid and Haaland are also playing hotly, which seems to be a warning to the French that he is not the only option for Real Madrid. Although Mbappe has the initiative in this deal, he must also weigh the results of Haaland joining Real Madrid, and Real Madrid poured all his resources into him.
Mbappe's attitude toward Messi can be seen in his mind, he just wants to join a team that is the only one who respects him and recognizes him as the absolute top card. Even if Paris is willing to give him the highest salary, Messi's brilliant experience and prestige in football will be difficult for him to catch up in the short term.
