Gracious words from Kylian Mbappe

Fine words from a defeated Kylian Mbappé as reported in the Guardian. He comes across as a decent person.

The 24-year-old Mbappé earns €90.91 million annually. He has one World Cup medal and scored a hat trick in this year's final, which France lost.

“I talked with him after the match, I congratulated him,[Messi]” Mbappé added. “It was a life’s goal for him, for me as well, but I failed, so you must always remain a good sportsman. I don’t think [the defeat] will ever really be swallowed. But as I told my [PSG] coach and teammates, there’s no reason that my club pays the price for a failure with the national team. It was a complicated time … PSG isn’t responsible for our defeat. I tried to come back with the best energy possible, being as positive as possible.”

His he as good a footballer as Pele, who died yesterday?
