Mbappé preferred to Messi for the title of best player, Micoud cries foul

on

Former French international, Johan Micoud, does not understand why Kylian Mbappé was voted best player at the expense of Lionel Messi.

On Sunday evening, the Parisian star Kylian Mbappé was voted best player of the season in Ligue 1. Elected by his peers, the crack of Bondy won this award for the fourth time in a row.

“Messi has been more consistent than Mbappé”

Overall, observers agree that his new triumph is deserved. But that’s not everyone’s opinion. For example, Johan Micoud, ex-international and consultant today for the L’Equipe chain, believes that this distinction should have gone to the other Parisian genius, Lionel Messi.

“I would have voted for Messi, he said on Sunday evening. Yes, it may not be the best season of his career. But he has been more consistent than Mbappé. And it’s been a long time since we had a player with 16 goals and 16 assists. And it’s not just the stats. We found an exceptional Messi, with great assists..

“After the World Cup, he was less well, but he at least performed very well on the 1e part of the season with Neymar while Mbappé took a long time to start and he did not splash the season like the previous ones”, added the former France international as arguments.

Micoud then raised another point, which according to him is unfair: “And I also regret the absence of Alexandre Lacazette among the nominees for the best player trophy, who despite a difficult season with OL is one goal behind Mbappé. He is having a very good season, especially since it is not easy to return to his former club.
