But I just still can't accept Messi taking over the penalty kick in the UCL yesterday, even though if it was given to Mbappe I think it would be even better because it was a good chance for Mbappe to score a hat-trick. Yesterday, we knew PSG won against Monaco 2-0 and the first goal was scored from a penalty kick and it was Mbappe who took the shot. I just don't understand why when a player has a great chance to score a hat-trick but doesn't get support from a star player like Messi, I would prefer Messi to support Mbappe as a young potential player and give Mbappe a penalty kick in yesterday's UCL match against Brugge.

I think Messi is very worried about the fact that he is far behind Ronaldo and he would like to be closer on goals scored (or maybe he's trying to get away from Levandowski even further). Therefore, he uses every opportunity to improve his personal statistics. It may be selfish, but such motives are understandable.

I think mbappe should stay a little more, he will gain more from Messi than any player. They make a perfect duo already. Their last 2 matches was either one assisted and the other scores and vice versa. The Messi and Mbappe dynamic reminds me of the Ronaldinho and Messi dynamic in 2004. Obviously not as legendary but still similar in some ways

Well, Mbappe's chances are still very wide open to achieve that success, but the reason about the competition for the most goals between Messi and Ronaldo or other players I don't think is something important either. The rivalry is always raised in the media so they continue to compete even though they have played in different leagues and also, if Messi is really competing for the highest number of goals then it should have been in yesterday's match against Monaco, Messi took the kick but he didn't. Well, whatever the reason, the most important thing is that they have played better than before, but I'm still curious whether when Neymar returns to play they can still play well like in the last two games or not, it's interesting to watch.
