Messi Did Not Display Disrespect Towards Mbappe

PSG's head coach Christophe Galtier has spoken about the relationship between Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. The French specialist was asked whether Messi had displayed any disrespect towards Mbappe when he allowed goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to mock the French striker with a doll during Argentina's championship parade. At that time, Messi was standing next to the goalkeeper.

"Messi did not show any disrespect towards Mbappe. They had a handshake, and Kylian behaved appropriately after the defeat in the final, congratulating Leo," Galtier's words are quoted by the club's press service.
