“I love Mbappe but he isn’t doing enough. He can become very strong if he hurts himself. He needs to taste blood and walk on fire,” Ibrahimovic told French outlet Telefoot in quotes published by The Mirror. “Surround yourself with people who tell you you’re not good enough and you will become the best.”

Zlatan scored 156 goals in 180 appearances for Paris Saint Germain and won four back-to-back Ligue 1 titles during his time in the French capital.
“It’s a good challenge for Messi. He will try something new after a long period at Barcelona and he’s going to a very ambitious club that wants to win and is rising,” he added. “Is today’s team better than the one in my era? No, we were a team. These days, it’s not a team.”
The Swede also said that the squad he was part of is better than the current group of players at the Parc des Princes, notwithstanding the recent arrival of Lionel Messi.
