Lionel Messi has revealed why Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappe is a “beast” and a “complete player” who is heading for greatness.
With a phenomenal record of 181 goals over 226 appearances for the defending Ligue 1 champions, the 23-year old forward has already earned his place among the world’s elites.
However, Messi, a seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, believes that the young talent who is poised to establish a place among the greats still has much more to offer.

Messi told TUDN: “Kylian is a different player, a beast who is very strong in one-on-one, who goes into space, who is very fast, who scores a lot of goals.
