It is noteworthy that Galtier had confirmed that what he had done with his players participating in the World Cup, by resting in stages, was a planned matter so as not to lose players of the value of Messi and Mbappe at the same time in the French League matches, which means that Mbappe did not ignore Messi’s reception at all.
