🏴 Wayne Rooney on Mbappe to
@DeparSports
: “A 22-23 year old player throwing his shoulder at Messi... I have never seen a bigger ego than this in my life. Someone remind Mbappe, when Messi was 22 years old, he had four Ballon d'Ors.”
Di Maria to his wife before the final: “I will be the champion love. It’s written. I’ll score a goal. Because it’s written like Maracana and Wembley. Go and enjoy tomorrow because we are going to be champions. Because 26 of us who’re here and the family of each one deserve it”
🚨 Leo Messi: “I don't like people talking before games. The 19th (Weghorst) came and started to provoke us, bump into us, tell us things. Their coach was not respectful to us either.”
Leo Messi: “Let me dedicate this victory to Ian Fray (Inter Miami teammate) who was suffering in the locker room from the injury he sustained. He comes from two serious injuries and today he has the bad luck to go through an injury again.”
Love you

“It was just incredible.”
“I just freed [when Lautaro scored], because we didn’t deserve to end like that. We were much better than them.”
“I want to hug everyone the players, the coaching staff.. everyone.”
Emi Martínez on what he said to Mbappé:
“I told him that it was a pleasure to play against him and that he almost won this match alone. He has an immense talent. When Messi stops, I'm sure Kylian will win many Ballon d'Ors.”
“Hello Lio.. I want to say that I love you very much and you are breaking it. You will be the best player in history when you finish your career. You had fun today, today you kept doing what you’re doing. Be happy with your family, love you Lio.”
🚨 Nicolas Otamendi: “I celebrated in face because there was a one Netherlands player, who at every penalty kick we had, was coming and saying things to one of our players. The picture was taken out of context, and we celebrated in response to it.”
📊 Julián Álvarez only needs to win the Champions League to become the first ever Argentine to win the 4 most important competitions (World Cup, Libertadores, Champions League, Copa America) 🇦🇷
Kylian Mbappe: “I congratulated Messi at the end of the match. It was quest of lifetime for him, for me too, but I lost. […] We will wait for Leo’s return for new victories and goals.”
🚨 Emmanuel Petit (French legend): “When I see the whistles against Messi, it's an insult to football. If I have any advice for Messi: get out of this club! PSG is not a football club!”

❤️ Neymar Jr: “I spoke to Messi before the World Cup final and I told him: ‘I didn't get there, but since you got there, win the f*cking World Cup.' I told him that I was supporting him. It had to end it in a golden way. I was very happy, football has been happy since that…
Luka Modric: “Congratulations and I wish good luck in the final to Messi. He is having an amazing tournament and he’s showing his greatness and quality.” 🤝🇭🇷
