Kylian Mbappe on Messi and Ronaldo: The French youngster was named in the FIFA Team of the Year in 2018.
Kylian Mbappe lined up alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the FIFA Team of the Year of 2018.
The Paris Saint Germain forward has had a brilliant year, as he inspired his national team to World Cup victory in July, and was one of the star performers for the French champion.
He won the best young player trophy in the World Cup, and finished fourth in the final Ballon d’Or list in December.
He was recently included in the FIFA Team of the Year, where he was in the front three with Messi and Ronaldo. And he reacted to the news in the perfect way.
Kylian Mbappe on Messi and Ronaldo:
The French youngster labelled Messi and Ronaldo the ‘Greatest of All Time,’ as he reacted to FIFA’s team of the year.
Mbappe took to Twitter to react to the news, attaching a picture of the front three.
While he made the ‘goat’ emoji on Messi and Ronaldo’s name, he used the ‘baby-face’ emoji on himself, seemingly signifying that he has a long way behind the superstar duo.
While Messi and Ronaldo were both rated at 99, Mbappe was given a 97. Mbappe’s PSG teammate Neymar didn’t find a place in the XI.
The star-studded midfield consisted of Kevin de Bruyne, N’golo Kante and Luka Modric, while a four-man defence included Marcelo, Sergio Ramos, Virgil van Dijk and Raphael Varane.
Manchester United and Spain’s David de Gea completed the team.

Liverpool fans getting angry because Salah didn’t make FIFA TOTY. No doubt he had an amazing 2018 but out of Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappe, you can’t drop any of them. Salah could have made it if he had won a major trophy, but he didn’t.
