He outscored Messi and lost on penalties. I don't think anyone will remember this as someone getting the better of him.
His performance is getting overrated imo. He was invisible for 80 minutes and amazing after but scored two penalties.
While it does take balls its not the amazing match performance people made it out to be.
Maybe had he scored that dribble.
On the kther hand its a 23 year old doing ot on the biggest stage so I do think its amazing while at the same time find people overrating it because of the second goal.
He was also invisible vs England and Marocco in the rounds before.
I do feel Messi was better in a weaker team basically in most ko rounds and had a better final as well.
Not to take anything away in that regard though. Mbappe is still the second best player of the tournament after last night.
Before that it was Griezmann who went invisible.
