Mbappe praised EURO as more exciting than the World Cup and Copa America, Messi immediately objected

According to Messi, EURO or Copa America both have their own unique features, but to say that the European Championship is more difficult than the World Cup is completely inaccurate.

Messi gave his opinion in the latest interview on ESPN, and seemed to want to refute what French team striker Kylian Mbappe just said recently. Both Messi and Mbappe once played for PSG, but have now parted ways with the Paris team.

Accordingly, in a recent interview, Mbappe said that conquering the EURO championship is much more difficult than the World Cup or Copa America. 

On the Argentina team, players Leandro Paredes and Lisandro Martinez both responded, saying that Mbappe can give his opinion, but the World Cup championship title is always the dream of every player and team. It brings together the best teams in the world more than any other tournament.

At the 2022 World Cup, Messi and Argentina defeated Mbappe’s France team after a decisive penalty shootout to win the championship in Qatar. Coming soon, EURO 2024 is preparing to kick off in Germany on June 14, while Copa America kicks off in the United States on June 20. Both of these top tournaments in Europe and South America end on July 14.

Recently, Messi was added to the debate. He said: “Of course, everyone wants to promote the tournament they compete in. EURO is a very important tournament, but it does not have South American teams, where teams like Argentina have won the World Cup three times. , Brazil won the World Cup 5 times or Uruguay won the World Cup 2 times. And vice versa, Copa America does not have teams in Europe. Each tournament has its own unique characteristics and different difficulty levels It’s more difficult because of that.”

“The best teams and world champions are all present at the World Cup. That’s why everyone wants to win the World Cup,” Messi emphasized, thereby also refuting Mbappe’s opinion of being too high-minded. EURO compared to other top tournaments.

Also in an interview on ESPN, Messi confirmed that Inter Miami Club will be the last team in his career. The famous Argentine player will not return to Barcelona or return to his hometown to play for Newell’s Old Boys Club as recently predicted.

Messi’s contract with Inter Miami will expire in December 2025 with an option to extend the following year that he will activate himself. It is likely that this famous player will activate the extension and can sign a new contract if he still wants to play more.

Messi also affirmed: “I have never valued records. I will not play in the World Cup just to say that I have participated in 6 World Cups. I love football and am enjoying football more than ever. I don’t have much time left to play at the top level. I’m having a good time with the club, enjoying my time with the national team and many other things. I enjoy the smallest details that I know I will remember when I retire.”
