🚨 “That’s the Biggest Joke of This Tournament” — Mbappé Fires Over Messi Snub
🎙️ Reporter:
“Kylian, congratulations on winning the Golden Boot back-to-back. How does it feel?”
Mbappé:🗣️“Thank you. Of course, I’m very happy—very proud. It’s not something easy to achieve, especially at this level, against the best players in the world. But if I’m being completely honest… I would trade both of them in a second for the World Cup trophy. Individual awards are special, but football is about the team, about lifting that trophy together. That’s the dream.”
🎙️ Reporter:“You mentioned the level of competition—this time you were up against Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot. How tough was that?”
Mbappé:🗣️“It wasn’t easy at all. We’re talking about the best player in the world. Every game, every moment, you’re watching him… and he’s delivering. Scoring, assisting, deciding matches. He had me worried, I won’t lie (laughs). There were nights I couldn’t even relax because I knew what he’s capable of doing the next day. Competing with someone like that pushes you beyond your limits.”
🎙️ Reporter:“Messi had a great tournament, but he still didn’t win the Golden Ball. What do you think about that?”
Mbappé:🗣️“That’s the part I honestly don’t understand. For me, it doesn’t make sense. We’re talking about the greatest of all time… a man who keeps rewriting history, who dominates headlines, who amazes everyone in every single game. He decides big matches like it’s nothing. And we’re saying he’s not the best player of the tournament? For me, that’s the biggest joke in this competition. I don’t see it any other way.”
🎙️ Reporter:“People often call you Ronaldo’s biggest fan, yet you never stop praising Messi. Why is that?”
Mbappé:🗣️“Yes, it’s true—I grew up idolizing Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s the reason I started dreaming the way I do. But that doesn’t mean I should be blind to greatness. What Lionel Messi has done for football… it’s crazy. Even now, at 39, he’s giving players in their prime sleepless nights. And he’s not even a pure striker. That tells you everything. Respect is respect. When you love football, you have to appreciate
⚠️| ATTENTION: Big pages are reportedly being paid huge sums to spread an AI-altered image falsely showing Messi fouling Djed Spence.😱
We received the offer too, but declined it.💰❌
🗣️ “Leo Messi’s Argentina are facing the easiest teams in the World Cup 2026!” — a certain fanbase is currently claiming this. 😳👀
✅ Let’s see the reality (THREADS):
🇪🇸🇺🇾 Argentina would have faced Spain or Uruguay in the round of 32. But Cape Verde dismissed all this equation.
Cape Verde literally eliminated Uruguay out of the World Cup from group stage! 🥶
🇧🇪 Argentina would have faced Belgium in the round of 16.
But Egypt drew their last match 1-1 with Iran & Belgium won by 5-1 vs New Zealand. And Belgium became group champions & avoided Argentina! 😮
🇵🇹 Argentina would have faced Portugal in the quarter finals if Ronaldo’s team had won the group stage.
But they drew against comparatively small team like DR Congo & couldn’t beat Colombia! 😂
So if the opponent team lost & avoided Argentina in the knockout stage, is it Messi or Argentina’a fault! Strange! 😀🤯
🚨🇦🇷 Big Statement:
Leo Messi Said 🗣️: “This is going to be my last World Cup. In the semifinal against England, my team and I will give everything we have. We won’t hold back and we are ready to risk everything to win this match.”🤯
This shameful and embarrassing article is written by @ben_rumsby
He unironically calls it a “favorable” draw for Argentina, says Portugal not beating Congo, and Uruguay and Spain failing to beat Cape Verde, are somehow Argentina’s fault too.
He also claims Messi should’ve been sent off against Algeria, while ignoring that several similar challenges have happened throughout the World Cup.
And on top of that, he posts a fake Infantino quote, even though he links the video in the article himself and in that video, Infantino never says the words he wrote.
You are embarrassing @ben_rumsby
-The defender gets the ball
-Salah loses possession
-Salah walks into the defender and there's contact
-Salah doesn't even complain
But since it's Argentina everyone cries 👏🏻
This is an extremely big and popular american social media account thats never talked about football before, not once up until this World Cup. Said nothing after Croatia - Portugal game either.
I let you come to your own conclusions.
The President of Cape Verde praised Lionel Messi and announced a special tribute for him ahead of their game against Argentina, saying:
“Messi is a phenomenal player who is deeply respected in Cape Verde. To us, he is the best player in the world. He embodies excellence and perfection in football. It is a great honor for us to face him.”
He also revealed that the Cape Verde national team plans to honor Argentina’s captain before the game, adding:
“We will present him with our national team shirt bearing his name and the number 10 as a token of our appreciation.”
Messi has earned respect from everyone, and in return, he is loved and admired all around the world.
