The time Mbappé said that “in South America football is not as advanced as in Europe”

Argentina achieved its third world star after beating Kylian Mbappé’s France in the Qatar 2022 final. Immediately, on social networks, they recalled some controversial statements by the current Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player where he assured that in Europe they are playing a higher level than in South America.

What had Kylian Mbappé said, in May?

“France… I think Brazil too, Brazil is a good team. There are several European teams too, because the advantage we have here (Europe) is that we always play high-level matches. When we get to the World Cup, we’re ready. And Argentina and Brazil don’t have that. In South America, soccer is not as advanced as in Europe and that is why when you look at the last World Cups it is always the Europeans who win ”, were his words.

Paradoxically, Kylian Mbappé ended up losing the Qatar 2022 World Cup against a South American team: Argentina, who celebrated with scores from Lionel Messi and Ángel Di María.
