Messi at 23 and Mbappe at 23

23-year-old Messi wants the World cup trophy and 23-year-old Mbappe wants to be the best.

Im so happy that Messi finally got his long-awaited World Cup trophy, though he's 35. Still legend. GOAT.

[rorigillmore]

messi at 20 was already considerd a magician so there is really no competition. accually from his first games he was already looked at

[RizwanKhan-jiri]

Messi at 23 won a ballon d'or, Mbappe at 23 and Messi still won a ballon d'or

[TXHEN]

Who's back here after Messi filled that empty WorldCup trophy spot?

[springkiller]

Messi finally did it, he became the legend, the one above all, the goat 🐐

[elizamehzebin]

Messi just won the fifa world cup 2022 y'all!! All his dreams and wishes are fulfilled now 🏆🏆🏆 This man got what he deserved. Hands down the G.O.A.T no doubt about that.

Messi en su esplendor en 2009 2010 2011 2012 era una cosa imparable el mejor jugador y mas completo que vi, le salia todo con una facilidad increíble, creo que ni siquiera el Mbape de ahora se acerca a ese nivel.

Messi showed why he's the GOAT and has now gotten the much deserved world cup with a brace. Mbappe scoring a hattrick in the finals showing how good of a talent he is aswell. ANKARA MESSI

И вот он день, сегодня Месси стал чемпионом мира и завоевал долгожданный трофей 🙏🙏 18.12.22

Messi 2009-2012 is the best prime player ever.

This aged like a fine wine
Here after Messi completed football

Messi’s advantage over Mbappe is that when Messi was 23, he wasn’t competing against Messi at 35 👑

[emmanuel.m.]

Lesson...Don't look down on what you have. Someone out there craves the opportunities and achievements you already have.

[israels]

Regardless of the fact Messi hasn't been able to win a World Cup, There's no comparison between the two. Messi is waay waaay better than Mbappe, who is a great player.

EDIT: Messi won the World Cup now, so this comment must be update. Happy for him 😌

[ffabcd]

Now Messi has a complete set of trophies including THE WORLD CUP. Coming from a Messi and Ronaldo fan absolutely love both players. Hopefully Mbappe can fill their shoes eventually.

[poetrycave]

No player in this generation can be compared to Messi, legend has it that it will take decades for the footballing fraternity to witness Such Monstrous talent, so you can't compare the two you just can't

[hhhh.h]

The world should know and understand that Messi is different and no one can be like him EVER.

[arviethakur]

Messi at 23 as false 9 role👽. It wasnt about just a long pass and run behind the ball and score. It was pure class, tiki taka with the players, dribbling, passes and then score the goals. Only messi could do this. Well, mbappe is also good

[dion]

With what’s happened today, I think we’ve learned that mbappe will without a doubt be the greatest in Europe one day, but Leo has put a strong exclamation mark on why he should be the greatest in history❤🇦🇷

[Krato]

If mbappe averages his goal and assists tally until now for the next 10 years atleast, then he would come close to Ronaldo and Messi. If he improves his numbers from now on and outperform his average, then he could surpass Ronaldo and Messi's numbers. All considering he has no major injuries in his career!
But the important thing comes down to winning major trophies with his club. At international he's already blessed to have won the World cup at only 18. He also has the Nations league. And it won't be difficult for him to win a Euro in his career.
But to enter the GOAT debate he must prove himself at elite club level in a different competitive league. And he must also win atleast 3 UCL.
If he doesn't become successful at club level, then he would just be another great goalscorer who has scored a lot and has a World cup, like Romario.
