Responding to the youngster's tweet, users seemed ecstatic about the fact that Mbappe will now face the great Messi in the summit clash of the tournament. “Messi will own you,” an Argentine fan wrote. At the same time, few fans mentioned that Mbappe should let Messi win the World Cup, as it might be his final appearance at the prestigious tournament.
