The French superstar Kylian Mbappe may have lost the 2022 world cup final, but he still has a lesson to teach to Messi and LeBron James

The Football soccer world cup has come and gone, and the winner has finally been decided, with Argentina beating the French national team, in a match that many considered to be Messi vs. Mbappe.

Messi is known to be soccer's GOAT, while Mbappe, at 23 years old, is set to be the future face of FIFA and the sport. But Kylian had already won a world cup, the previous edition, in 2018.

For Mbappe, the love for the game is more significant than earning money and amassing a considerable fortune. After winning the 2018 world cup, Mbappe donated all of his 500,000 thousand dollars prize to a charity.

This is something Messi and the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James would never do. Especially LeBron, who loves to increase his fortune; earlier this year, he broke the billion mark.

The reason behind donating the prize money for Mbappe

For Mbappe, a national player should not get paid, as it is an honor to represent your country and your home and should be something you do for free, without any monetary interest, just for the love of the sport and your homeland.
