Mbappe scored twice in the first eight minutes as PSG beat Club Brugge 4-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Messi scored two more to complete the throw and after the match Mbappe, 22, heaped praise on the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.

“It’s easy to play with Lionel Messi,” he said.

“He is the best player in the world.

“He won the Ballon d’Or a few days ago, he scored two goals today and he’s happy.”

Mbappe’s apparent change of opinion comes after he considers Ronaldo his GOAT and idol in 2020.

The dreary 0-0 draw in the Nations League showed a touching moment between the pair.

Mbappe and Ronaldo shared a conversation halfway, smiling and joking with each other before the Juventus player shot his opponent a thumbs-up.

Fans watching the match loved the close friendship between the two world-class strikers.

After the game, the PSG ace tweeted pictures of himself with Ronaldo on the pitch.

He captioned the scene: “Idol.”

And two emojis underscored Mbappe’s admiration for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner – a tiara and a goat.
