At 34, Javier Pastore has 29 caps for the Argentina team (2 goals), but the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has never won anything with the Albiceleste. On the other hand, he proudly attended the Argentinian coronation in 2022, in Qatar. And as a former Parisian he had the privilege of talking about it within the red and blue locker room. And Kylian Mbappé's response is worth the detour.

“With Kylian, yes. I saw him a few months after the final in Qatar, when PSG went to train and play a match. I was in the locker room, with him, with Messi, with Ney. I congratulated him on the World Cup and he replied: “Noooo, it was that son of a bitch Messi who beat us in the World Cup…” He said it as a joke, as if to say that Leo had won it on his own. I talked to Kylian a lot, he's a very focused guy: he lost a final and the next day he was already thinking about the next thing he was going to win. He has an incredible mentality. I know him a lot, I have a very good relationship with him and he is a winner, he fights 100%. I am surprised by his seriousness at this age. I only saw this seriousness in Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi”he confided to The Nation.
