Overview
- Kylian Mbappé told The Bridge podcast that Lionel Messi hit nine goals from nine shots during a finishing drill at Paris Saint‑Germain.
- Mbappé said Messi was tired late in the session and kept passing the ball into the net with the same precise finish each time.
- He added that onlookers praised his own tally with Neymar before seeing Messi’s sequence, which he called proof that Messi does everything well.
- Achraf Hakimi watched on with a fixed stare as Mbappé spoke, and Aurélien Tchouaméni replied that the display was simply too much.
- For context, Messi and Mbappé played together at PSG from 2021 to 2023, winning domestic trophies but not the UEFA Champions League, a period teammates like Vitinha later said tested the team’s balance.
