PSG president Naseer Al-Khelaifi said, "If I could, I would give the World Cup to both of them."
35-year-old Messi, playing his last World Cup match, is eager to win the title. It would definitely cement his legacy as the greatest footballer of all time.
Mbappe, on the other hand, is only 23 years old and on the verge of winning his second FIFA World Cup.
France won the title in 2018 after defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final, with Mbappe sealing the deal by scoring the fourth goal. Retaining the title will make France the first team to accomplish this feat since Brazil did it in 1962.
