The UEFA Champions League final is upon us once again, and it's no surprise that Lionel Messi has been named the best player of the tournament for his hat-trick against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Sunday night.

This marks Messi's first hat-trick in Ligue 1, breaking a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2019 when he scored a total of seven goals in the same game.

However, this achievement comes at the expense of another player who has also made history - Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe, who is currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, was named the Best Young Player of the season for his performances in the French top flight.

Despite not being able to play due to COVID-19 restrictions, Mbappe still managed to score three goals, including a stunning penalty in the second half of the match.

In addition to his impressive performance, Mbappe was also praised for his leadership qualities, with many fans calling him "the next Neymar" after scoring three goals in just four minutes.

Overall, this hat-trick from Messi and Mbappe is a testament to the power of football and the impact that foreign players can have on the sport. While it's always exciting to see new faces break records, it's even more impressive to see them do so while playing in their home countries.

In conclusion, Messi and Mbappe's achievements were certainly a highlight of the tournament, but it's clear that the future looks bright for these two young talents in Europe.
