The 'new GOAT' as he is now fondly called has dropped an interesting message following the defeat in Qatar.
France superstar Kylian Mbappe has finally broken his silence after the heartbreak from the FIFA World Cup final defeat to Argentina.
Mbappe and France missed the chance to make history by becoming only the third team to ever win the World Cup back-to-back following the 4-2 penalty shootout loss to Argentina at Lusail on Sunday.
The 23-year-old scored a remarkable hat-trick in that encounter but it was not enough to stop Messi and La Albiceleste from glory in Qatar after the game ended 3-3 after extra time.
Messi scored two goals with Angel Di Maria also on the scoresheet for Argentina in the encounter before the final was decided via penalty as Argentina held their nerves to emerge as new champions.

However, despite being in his best form, it was not good enough to land France a third World Cup title.
For Mbappe, though, while Argentina went home with the coveted crown, the PSG man won many hearts with his performance.
His hat-trick saw him become the first player since 1966 to score a hat-trick in the World Cup final.
The goals also helped him finish as the top scorer and winner of the Golden boot with eight goals, one more than Messi.

Mbappe is also the first player to score eight goals in a single World Cup campaign since Ronaldo Nazario de Lima achieved the feat with Brazil in 2002
