Mbappe, the young French phenom, recently made headlines by stating that winning the World Cup was a greater achievement than triumphing in the European Championships. However, the legendary Argentinian forward has now firmly rebuked this assertion.

“With all due respect to Kylian, I have to disagree,” Messi stated in a candid interview. “The Euros are just as, if not more, challenging than the World Cup. The level of competition is incredibly high, and you’re facing off against some of the best teams and players in the world.”

The 35-year-old, who finally captured his elusive World Cup title last year in Qatar, went on to explain his perspective. “In the Euros, you don’t have the luxury of facing lesser opponents in the early rounds. Every single match is a battle, and you have to be at your absolute best to come out on top.”

Messi’s comments are sure to reignite the long-standing debate over which international tournament holds greater prestige and difficulty. Football fans across the globe will eagerly await the opportunity to see these two titans of the sport go head-to-head once again, both on the pitch and in the media.
