⚽ FIFA World Cup 2030: Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay ⚽

How about Yamal and Kylian huh? because I think that I am already sensing a rivalry there. And this is just the beginning because I think that this rivalry will become more noticeable after Messi and Ronaldo final retirement. Yamal and Kylian has the same M.O as GOAT Messi and Ronaldo. They are both playing inside Laliga like Messi And Ronaldo did in their prime, and Kylian who is the Real Madrid guy is older than Yamal just like Ronaldo was older than Messi in Laliga.

Just like Messi too, yamal is still young and is a growing superstar that is more promising to win trophies like Messi do. Everything is just so similar and alike, or am I just making all this up?

What a comparison! Well, some are related, but many doesn't, and you need to carefully weigh the age difference of the two players; you were actually silent about that. Between C. Ronaldo and Messi, it's just 2 years, meaning they are of the same generation. But between Mbappe and Yamal, it's a whole 8 years. The reality is that when Yamal is still very active and probably winning trophies and awards, Mbappe might have faded off by then; age will surely tell. You can imagine both of them in the next 7-10 years. So, I believe it would be nothing compared to C.Ronaldo and Messi rivalry, even thought it might look like that somewhere in-between.

Kylian Mbappe will be 31 at the next World Cup, so he should still be able to perform at a high level. Alongside Haaland and Yamal, I’d also highlight another rising star: Michael Olise. He impressed at the last World Cup and has continued to shine at Bayern Munich. In my opinion, he could become another player on Messi’s level.

Kylian Mbappe may be having age constraints already just like we see in the last world cup. He performed far better in the previous ones than this year.  But by that year, I think Yamal will be at his peak or better if he continues developing the way he's going.

Mbappe will probably be 31 in the 2030 World Cup and his age will definitely be a topic of discussion. After the 2026 World Cup, though, I can't believe that his performance has dropped. I, on the other hand, believe his show is getting better. It'll be obvious if you take a look at the World Cup numbers. If you count the goals he would have scored just 4 goals in 2018, but 8 goals in the 2022 World Cup. However, he had four assists and 10 goals in the upcoming season in 2026. He even triumphed the Golden Boot in 2026. This means that 2026 was his best World Cup.

Yamal and Mbappe’s rivalry is nowhere near the level of ronaldo and messi’s rivalry. At age 25 messi had 4 balon dors and ronaldo also had one after which he went on to win 4 more. So far neither Mbappe nor Yamal has won the balon dor shows that they arent even the best players of their generation let alone having a rivalry like ronaldo and messi. They have a rivalry that is normal and not a big rivalry like Ronaldo or messi that went for almost 20 Years

Mbappe will undoubtedly write his name on the list of the best players and there is no doubt that Lamine Yamal, Michael Oliseh have great talent and they have the desire to do well, so we can definitely expect good things from them, especially Lamine Yamal. Just like he dribbles brilliantly from the right wing for Spain and goes inside with the ball, he is also seen as more aggressive in Barcelona, in that case if he does not have any unwanted injury problems and if he does not develop any bad habits in himself then he will definitely write his name on the list of legendary players. But you said one thing that they will not be able to go above Messi and Ronaldo, we do not expect that and we cannot compare Messi or Ronaldo with other players because they are always the best, they are Goat

[danadc]

I have my uncertainty if there will ever be any like this two players in football, maybe but not at the level that both players dominated the game, it will take a very gifted and extraordinary players to replicate what Ronaldo and Messi did,

There are several sides to this, there are goal records, trophies won, assist given, individuals awards,

And this makes me asking how the upcoming generation could erase all of these record, it is very difficult and somewhat impossible to think.

New generations always surprise us; it's just a matter of time before football stars emerge who can amaze us. It's good because it doesn't stop here; they have many role models, which already encourages children to dream of breaking records and becoming the best in the world, all thanks to the influence of Cristiano and Messi. This will happen, and it's great because football will continue its path with more stars of the future.

I wouldn't consider the number of Ballon d'Or as a very important value in this case. Mbappé has never won it, that's true, but his numbers remain impressive. He absolutely is one of the best players of his generation. Otherwise, based on your logic, Ousmane Dembelé is a way better player than Mbappé: please find me a single person who would choose Dembelé over Mbappé.

These two players can become the best players after Messi and Ronaldo retire

What does it mean? For you a 39-year-old Messi who plays in the MLS and a 41-year-old Ronaldo who plays in Saudi Arabia are still the best players in the world? They stopped being the best players years and years ago. Just because at a certain point you are the best it doesn't mean you'll keep being it until the day you retire...

[HustleZ]

What a comparison! Well, some are related, but many doesn't, and you need to carefully weigh the age difference of the two players; you were actually silent about that. Between C. Ronaldo and Messi, it's just 2 years, meaning they are of the same generation. But between Mbappe and Yamal, it's a whole 8 years. The reality is that when Yamal is still very active and probably winning trophies and awards, Mbappe might have faded off by then; age will surely tell. You can imagine both of them in the next 7-10 years. So, I believe it would be nothing compared to C.Ronaldo and Messi rivalry, even thought it might look like that somewhere in-between.

That is a very interesting way too look at it, and it’s why messi and ronaldo’s rivalry has been so unique because there cant be any other two players in the same age group being at the top stage of football, we cant just degrade messi and ronaldo just because they have gotten old but rather we should acknowledge their top-class dominance in this sport that cant be replicated by any other player…. Mbappe and Yamal are good but you know, Ronaldo and messi aren't that low-standard players that they will be replaced before they even retire. It will take a significant time to replace them

First of all there is a big difference between one balon dor and 4 consecutive ones, which messi achieved before the age of Mbappe. But apart from that i didn’t say that messi was better “only” because he won the balon d’or, i wont say anything. You say yourself, is messi only better in terms of balon dor from Mbappe? Or are there numerous things he is better than mbappe at. So i’ll say that there’s no comparison between messi and Mbappe

Are you sure about this? Ronaldo has always done the expected, and he did the expected very well. Messi and Mbappe are players who, very frequently, do things you could never see coming. I agree that a few Ronaldo goals belong into that category, like the header or bicycle kick, but Mbappe and Messi have the ability to explode out of nowhere. Ronaldo, in my opinion, rarely came close to that. I don't say he never did, but from a viewer's point of view, I would prefer to watch Messi or Mbappe all the time.

You sound very biased. I refuse to believe that someone who has seen at least one full season of Ronaldo's play could genuinely write something like that.

Even at Manchester United (the first term) he became famous as someone who could change the game singlehandedly and in a matter of minutes. And that included the UCL games, which he eventually won with United in 2008.

It's ok if you're a CR7 hater but some respect where respect is due is a must for every true football fan.

I agree with you. Players like Messi or Mbappé create such impactful moments in the match, where the winning prediction of the match changes. But so far nothing extraordinary has been observed in ronaldo.

Especially in the last world cup, only Messi's contribution allowed argentina to reach the world cup final. On the other hand, Mbappé was also the top scorer for france and it was because of his scoring that france went so far. And in the 2022 world cup final, when argentina was going to win the final very naturally towards the last moment, mbappé scored 2 goals to equalize his team. This kind of performance can only be observed more in mbappé or messi.

However, in this case messi will be ahead of Mbappé. Because Mbappé also plays to increase individual performance in some cases. But messi always performs selflessly for the team. This is why he is different from all the other players.

Messi has honestly disappointed me in recent years, simply reduced to a shadow of himself, without desire and without creativity.
Sara, at the World Cup I was expecting just one good play from him and instead he was completely absent.
If we want to use young people's language, he "ghosted" the World Cup.

Mbappe is a player, an exceptional striker. He has everything: strength, agility, intelligence and above all a sense of goal.
Rarely does a player have all of these things together.
For example, Imbraimovic had strength, agility and anger but not the sense of goal, he scored with strength.
Mbappe on the other hand is also smart and knows how to move and create spaces.

If you watch Ronaldo's previous performances or watch his previous games, you would not have made such comments about Ronaldo. Because there are many matches in which Ronaldo has won or drawn the team at the last minute. Currently, Ronaldo's performance is very bad and his age is affecting his game. If you watch Ronaldo's performance in Real Madrid, watch his performance in Juventus, then you can see many such performances.

First of all we all know that Messi won the Ballon d'Or even when he didn't deserve it, the first that comes to mind is 2010.
Secondly, I never said Mbappé is better than Messi (of course the Argentinian is better), I was answering to your statement that Mbappé is not even among the best players of his generation just because he didn't win the Balon d'Or, and that doesn't make any sense. If he's so average how come he managed to win a World Cup and he plays for the biggest football club in history?

And I ask you again: since Dembelé won the Balon d'Or, do you consider him one of the best players of this generation? And that of course means he is an overall better player than Mbappé?

What do you mean Messi disappeared in the World Cup in the US? I don't agree with you saying Messi disappeared in yesterday's World Cup because throughout the competition Messi role was quite crucial from the start until the semifinals he just wasn't visible during the final match against Spain.

But it's not that Messi didn't have a role it's just that Spain game in the World Cup edition in the USA was really impressive. Almost all of Spain players performed solidly from the start of the competition up to the final match, and even in the final, they made it so Argentina couldn't do anything, not even a single shot on Spain goal. What I mean is, we can't deny Messi role in last year's World Cup; he even managed to lead Argentina to consecutive finals at an age when Messi is no longer young. Of course, last year's World Cup in the USA was his last World Cup and we have to accept the reality that in the next World Cup, there won't be any players like Messi and Ronaldo because their era has ended.

[KTChampions]

Mbappe will probably be 31 in the 2030 World Cup and his age will definitely be a topic of discussion. After the 2026 World Cup, though, I can't believe that his performance has dropped. I, on the other hand, believe his show is getting better. It'll be obvious if you take a look at the World Cup numbers. If you count the goals he would have scored just 4 goals in 2018, but 8 goals in the 2022 World Cup. However, he had four assists and 10 goals in the upcoming season in 2026. He even triumphed the Golden Boot in 2026. This means that 2026 was his best World Cup.

The way you write, it’s as if there’s a possibility that Mbappé might be 20 or, say, 50 years old in 2030  As we see from many players, 31 is already a serious age, but it could well even be the peak or near the peak (near which you can stay for several more years without any particular problems). Kane is 33 now, and he doesn’t look tired at all  I think things will continue to go well for Mbappé, but I don’t agree that the next World Cup will necessarily be his best one, sure, there will once again be a bunch of lower-tier teams against whom he can pad his stats, but repeating his best achievement (winning gold) is incredibly difficult.

I don't know how you watched the recently played World Cup or the Argentina national team. A 39-year-old player who scored eight goals and gave four assists in the World Cup underperformed? Messi put up an extraordinary performance in the last event, and it helped him to make the Ballon d'Or list. The former Argentine captain was instrumental in their silver medal in the competition. He also scored some important goals that helped his team survive some difficult games. I might accept that he didn't contribute much in the finals against Spain.

Mbappe is a special player so also is Messi especially in the last World Cup, they have performed individually for their club and country, while Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t been that great in the recent World Cup probably because of what’s happening in the national team that still continue till the last international break but for Mbappe and Messi, they have been performing well. Mbappe did well last season, scoring as many goals he can score while Messi also did great for club and country. For now these two are really impressive and we hope to see more of their performance in the coming games or seasons.
