I don't think that it was just trash-talk what Argentina players did in the World Cup after eliminating Netherlands by penalties.
Their behavior was so not right there. This is just humiliating for Netherlands players. I also agree that it is meaningless to say that France might have done the same thing as well. We can't assume such thing while not having any proof that is showing a potential for such action. I don't remember France players doing a similar thing in the recent years. They have always just focused on their games and targets.

Although Mbappe is scoring more goals than Messi in the World Cup, he cannot even come close to Messi's style of play. Because Messi has single-handedly led the entire Argentina team forward. Lionel Messi's feat in winning the World Cup is one football fans will never forget.
Saying that Messi carried his team on his back to win the world cup on a game where Mbappe scored 3 goals and scored his penalty as well (technically fourth goal) is weird. I mean this guy was the only reason Argentina didn't beat France the way they beat Croatia.The game could have been over 2-0 if he wasn't as good as he is, specially that second goal was something special, to hit the ball like that from there in a way goalkeeper would know where you are hitting and STILL can't save it, that was magical. I am not saying Mbappe is better than Messi or anything, maybe now he could be, but to say Messi is worse in general would be idiotic. All I am saying is that Mbappe is not bad neither, dude is quite great.
You both have valid points. Argentina wouldn't be here if Messi didn't do all those things. Their whole gameplay is based on him, even squad choices were made according to that game plan. We can't say same thing about France though. Remove Mbappe and you will still have a great team and a chance to play in the final. Also nobody can underestimate how Mbappe play in whole tournament and especially in the final. I believe Mbappe will be the main character in football for over a decade when Messi era is completely over.
Heading back to France, these two should move on and focus on their game because now Parisians expect them to win the Champions League. If they can't pass Bayern in February then there will be no target left for this season. I don't think they'll lose Ligue 1 again for a couple of more years considering how big their lobby and budget is.

Considering that the scandal over Martinez’s behavior is developing more and more and I don’t see any words from Messi about the fact that such behavior (from the moron Martinez) is unacceptable, I think that the relationship between Mbappe and Messi is ruined. It seems to me that in a normal team, partners should support each other, and in this situation, Martinez is clearly not right in relation to Mbappe. Accordingly, Mbappe does not get what he theoretically expects from a teammate.
if france had won the world cup maybe they would be doing something similar, so i see this whole argentina celebration situation as something normal, for that reason the mbappe doesn't have any reason to be upset with argentina and much less doesn't have any reason to be upset with messi, we have to understand that messi is not the father of the argentina players, he has no power to keep dictating rules on how the argentina players have to celebrate in each victory, that makes no sense.so Mbappe at PSG has no reason to get involved with messi, because the world cup is over and the world cup games have nothing to do with the ligue 1 games, messi is a PSG employee, he has a contract and PSG demands good performance from him, while Messi is also an Argentine, he has a duty to be useful to Argentina when he is called up for the Argentine team, these are things that Mbappe needs to understand and overcome and have good relations with the Messi, I'm just a little in doubt if Messi will play or not because his celebration lasted a long time, can anyone tell me if Messi is already in France and training in PSG's field?
When it comes to accountability, that's not how it works. If your friend behaves like shit, and you continue to be friends with him as if nothing had happened, pretending that "everything is fine" then everyone will have questions not only to the friend but also to you.
In my opinion, trash-talking is acceptable in any game, but I believe that even that is subject to a limit, and I believe that Emiliano Martinez has crossed that limit, which I find to be unacceptable to some degree. As far as Martinez is concerned, the team should take action against him as he is publicly defaming a player like Kylian Mbappe, which is really sad and disappointing. I do not know if Kylian Mbappe has spoken about him, but I strongly believe that he should stop what he is doing as soon as possible.

We are going straight back to the Ligue 1 games in a few days.
PSG are having a home game against Strasbourg. I don't expect any surprises here. It should be a very comfortable win for PSG. Something terrible has happened to Strasbourg this season as they are one of the worst teams of the league now. They won only once in 15 games so far. This is the complete opposite of their effort in the previous season. PSG have tougher games later like against Lens and Rennes. They would need to play even better in those games to get a win.
League 1 defending Champions are more than ready than I really thought, see how quickly they all have returned for the start of a new half.PSG are having a home game against Strasbourg.

Marseille was the club I felt had a good chance to challenge the title a bit with League 1 gaints but they flopped so early after I boast of em been the most consistent side in Europe top five leagues.
It's currently Lens doing the job though having some close range point right behind Parish Saint Germany who I still think won't be stopped by Lens, I do hope they keep it burning as they're still top favorite to win League 1 once again.
It's sure gonna be a big win against Strasbourg, even without the presence of Lionel Messi.
There should be no problem whatsoever for PSG to beat Strasbourg in any way whatsoever. Aside from the fact that PSG are the superior team on paper, their players have been in insane form during the world cup, which will boost their morale even further. Consequently, I believe they will be able to get a comfortable victory against them as a result.
My only question is that I would like to know how many goals they can expect to score against Strasbourg? If the coach decides to rest some players like Mbappe, Messi, or Neymar, I will not be surprised by that decision. It's shaping up to be a fascinating match and I'm looking forward to it.

Kylian Mbappe will not join Real Madrid this season. He will play until he finishes his argument at PSG. He could potentially join Real Madrid later on if they want to sign Kylian Mbappe. However, if Mbappe joins Real Madrid, this team is the best team in the world. That means it has the potential to become the best club.
Rumors of Mbappe joining Real Madrid have been around for 2 years, but until now there have been no signs indicating this. Mbappe is still comfortable at PSG, he still wants to win ligue 1 with PSG, the possibility of becoming a champion in one of the European competitions such as the champions league is his dream with PSG.

I think Mbappe will stay with PSG to win UCL and then he will move to Real Madrid but if he somehow achieves winning UCL this season with PSG, he will more likely move to Real Madrid. At the same time, imagine if Messi wins UCL with PSG after winning WC with Argentina as that would be a season that won't be replicated for many years to come 
If mbappe wins UCL with PSG, there is a very tendency that he will extend his contract may be till another two years whenever his present one expires. Come to think of it, when Mbappe began his senior career, he wasn't known and Real Madrid never saw Him. Mbappe went to PSG on loan and became the top talker in French 🇫🇷 football before He was recognized and called by France for His first international debut. Now he is given a contract and beginning to make a wave in the club that discovered him, Real Madrid feels that isn't the best place for Him. Mbappe will join Madrid in the future, But for now, I think he is happily spending his football moment at PSG

Mbappe has said that his dream team since childhood was Real Madrid, so I don't wonder if one-day Mbappe will finally play in Madrid, even though it's only a few years. madrid still opens the door wide for mbappe, apart from that if PSG manages to win the UCL cup, I also still believe that mbappe will not intend to be at PSG much longer.
I don't see that for now, the reason Madrid were so sure last season Mbappe would come is because things like this happened but when he decided to stay with PSG and turned down Madrid's offers I think it ended there. Because I'm still pretty sure Madrid still won't open the door for Mbappe this season or even next season even though it's possible this will definitely be the last option for Perez, he has money and there are still a number of strikers he can bring in even though it's true in terms of skills obviously it won't be as good as Mbappe but he will choose that option as it will be very painful again for Perez if he is rejected again and again at the last moment.Even though Real Madrid has been disappointed by Mbappe but with Mbappe's great playing style, of course Real Madrid as a professional club will still be willing to accept Mbappe. But indeed, if Mbappe stays longer at PSG then Mbappe will reach old age, and if Mbappe is too old then this will not make Real Madrid sign him.
Because so far I think Real Madrid only signed players who still have a good long term but yes, after all Mbappe is still very young at this time.
At least this age factor still creates a big chance for Mbappe to play for Real Madrid later and after all, if PSG still can't win the Champions League title this season and also next season. So of course Mbappe will be very likely to leave PSG, I personally am quite sure because of Mbappe's young age, at least Mbappe will not play at PSG forever.
Unless Mbappe has great loyalty to the team, and with great love for the team then of course Mbappe will be able to play at PSG until retirement. But with the big ambitions that Mbappe has, then of course Mbappe will play in a team that does have greater potential to be able to win many titles, especially for the Champions League.

It's sure gonna be a big win against Strasbourg, even without the presence of Lionel Messi.
the difference in points between Lens and PSG is only 4 points, so the chance for Lens to win Ligue 1 this season is still very wide openIt's sure gonna be a big win against Strasbourg, even without the presence of Lionel Messi.
but the conditions that must be met by Lens are not easy, Lens must be able to win all the matches in front of them and hope that PSG will be held to a draw by other teams in the next few matches
PSG has always won Ligue 1 for a long time, it will be very exciting if another team wins, so the atmosphere in the competition will be even higher

Hardly any player stays with his club for the rest of his life. Mbappe joined PSG at a relatively young age. He will first achieve all his goals before he starts thinking about a possible transfer. He's arguably the best player in the world, so PSG definitely won't want to let him go. Because the owner of PSG is so wealthy, it will not be a problem to negotiate his new contract and a possible salary increase. And playing in a team with Messi and Neymar, who wouldn't want that? Then you have the ultimate vanguard. They will do everything they can to win the CL this year. French league offers some challenge for these players. Maybe somewhere it also has its advantages so that you can save players and give them a longer rest.
There was a problem with Messi in the world cup. Now Mbappe stays with the team or not, that will be his decision. Messi and Mbappe are really good players. They are performing much better as an offensive line this year. If they want the CL trophy, they will wait for Mbappe and Messi to get along well. I hope they fix the problem between them. By the way, if Mbappe really wants to go to a team other than Psg, the salary does not matter, he will definitely go.

To be honest, I don't think Mbappe will play for Real Madrid in the future. note : as a potential replacement for Benzema. the reason is, Mbappe prefers to move freely as a winger. The more ideal player to replace Benzema later is Erling Haaland. after all, Haaland is a pure sticker who is very hungry for goals. no one will doubt him if he joins Real Madrid. Real Madrid, will be a team that is very scary for its opponents.
As for Mbappe, as we all know. Mbappe has a long contract with PSG, after all if a club wants his services in January or next summer's transfer market, the budget that must be spent as a dowry to sign him will be very expensive. and if Mbappe wants more new challenges, the club he should go is the Premier League. even so, at least Mbappe and his colleagues will first realize the club's dream of winning the Champions League trophy.
