Kylian Mbappe has now insisted that Lionel Messi is 'the best player in the world' after saying earlier this year he has often picked Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of his Argentine team-mate.
The PSG forward scored twice in the 4-1 win against Club Brugge on Tuesday night, as did Messi who has been his team-mate for four months now since his free transfer from Barcelona.
It hasn't been plain-sailing for the duo alongside Neymar up front but the trio are showing signs of form and Mbappe seems to have now made his mind up on who he rates highest in the Messi-Ronaldo debate.
'It's easy to play with Lionel Messi,' Mbappe said after the Champions League win.
'He's the best player in the world. He won the Ballon d'Or a few days ago. He scored two goals today, he is happy, and I hope he will help us in the future.'
However, in an interview with Spanish paper Marca in February, Mbappe admitted he has rated Ronaldo slightly higher from time to time.
'From one year to the next, my choice changes between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi,' Mbappe said.
'Even if I have to admit to picking Ronaldo more often. I loved him when I was younger.
'He is a hero from my childhood and it was amazing to meet him when I visited Valdebebas.'
Messi won his seventh Ballon d'Or in Paris last week, while Ronaldo is currently on five golden balls.

As a kid I too was fascinated by Ronaldo in FIFA 2006. I watched him as the new rising star. But after watching Messi, my entire perspective on football has changed.

He will say Messi now only because he’s playing with him at PSG. In reality he knows who’s better, who’s exciting to watch, who’s got more charisma & skills on the field , it’s Ronaldo 😆

Breaking news: Who can say "NO" to Messi? Evra ,cr7 best friend was the first to congratulate messi on 7th balloondor. Ramos admitted and confessed that Messi was the reason madrid couldn't dominate Barca. Pjanic thought cr7 was the best when at juve with Cr7 but when he played with Messi at Barcelona he confessed that Messi is above all. Mbape initially felt insecure with Messi arrival and wanted to exit psg but now he found out that he need not to leave because of Messi if he wanted to leave. Football goes beyond scoring goals! Cr7 is one of the best because he scores goals either tap in or pk,but Messi is the goat because he play football ! Very soon cr7 himself would come plane to say he accept Messi's supremacy !
