Rumors claimed the 2018 World Cup Winner might leave PSG at the end of the season. But there has been no shortage of effort from Mbappe’s side.

Mbappe scored during both the legs of PSG‘s Round of 16 clash against Real Madrid. Following PSG’s exit from the competition, Mbappe received a lot of praise, but Messi and Neymar became subject to a lot of criticism.

Both Messi and Neymar failed to deliver on the biggest stage. Though Neymar assisted both the Mbappe goals, he did not had a significant impact on the match. Coming to Messi, the Argentine missed a penalty in the first leg of the Round of 16 clash.

However, both Neymar and Messi are exceptional talents. And it is no doubt that both of them must be disappointed at the results. With Kylian Mbappe rumored to leave for Madrid, all eyes will be on Lionel Messi and Neymar once again next season.
