Why Messi Stole Hat-Trick Opportunity From Mbappe Against Club Brugge Finally Revealed

Lionel Messi seemingly stole the opportunity of a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappe, during PSG’s 4-1 win of Club Brugge.

It happened that when the penalty was won in the 75th minute, Mbappe already had a brace, and could’ve completed his hat-trick with another goal.

However, it was the 22-year-old who unselfishly gifted the penalty to Messi; Leo didn’t insist on taking it.
