Kylian Mbappe talks about trying to beat Lionel Messi to the Golden Shoe

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has been talking about trying to outscore Barcelona captain Lionel Messi.

Messi clinched the European Golden Shoe last season for the sixth time in his career after racking up 36 goals in 34 appearances for Barcelona.

The Barcelona captain beat Mbappe to the award, as the Frenchman came in second place with 33 goals for the Ligue 1 champions.

“(At the end of last season) Instead of just putting my head under the covers and waiting calmly for the end of the season, I was trying to outdo myself.
