I wondered who would win the Ballon d’Or, Messi or Cristiano, every year. Who do I prefer? It's like choosing between your father or your mother. You can't.

Mbappe is a self-confessed fan of Ronaldo since his childhood. Fate has, however, led him to experience Messi's magic first-hand as the two now share a dressing room at PSG.

Messi has won seven Ballon d'Ors while Ronaldo has five. A debate on who is better has always been an emotive subject amongst football fans.

Sports Brief has also reported that Kylian Mbappe's troubles at Paris Saint-Germain have escalated, with football fans now turning their attention to a clip doing rounds on social media. In the video, Mbappe is seen pushing his teammate Lionel Messi while going to ask Neymar to allow him to take a penalty.

PSG won two penalties in their game against Montpellier over the weekend. Mbappe took responsibility for the first one, which he missed. He wanted to make amends by taking the second penalty, which Neymar refused. The Brazilian ended up scoring.

Apart from that incident, the happenings prior to that has left fans talking. Mbappe appears to shove Messi aside as he makes his way to where Neymar was.
