Ibrahimovic told France Inter: "Messi is the best player in history, I was sure he would win, but [Kylian] Mbappe will win a World Cup," he said.

"I am not concerned about him. I am concerned about the other Argentina players. Messi won everything and will always be remembered, but the rest who behaved badly cannot be respected.
