Franco Mastantuono made an appearance on _El Larguero_ (Cadena SER). The Argentine starlet spoke on a range of topics — from Vinícius Jr.’s El Clásico outburst to his admiration for Lionel Messi and his rivalry with Lamine Yamal.
> _“When he left, it obviously wasn’t the right way to do it. He apologized to Xabi, he apologized to everyone in the locker room. We’re a team, we’re all one… Vinicius is an incredible person who gets questioned a lot because of who he is, but the truth is he’s an incredible person who spreads joy._
> _“Obviously he gets angry like we all do… but he quickly acknowledged that. He knows he’s very important to the team, he’s one of the captains. I think he’s an incredible person.”_
> _“I’m at the biggest club in the world, but for me the best player in football, and in the world, is Messi, and he will be until the day he retires._
> _“I’m with him on the national team and he’s incredible; he leaves you speechless every time he touches the ball… I appreciate how he’s always treated me.”_
> _“I don’t like comparisons, but it’s always nice to have rivals of Lamine’s caliber… They motivate you to be even better.”_
On who is better **right now**:
> _“Today, Lamine. The truth is, he’s showing an incredible level… I just arrived at Madrid, I’m in an adaptation process… hopefully it will be a very long story to tell.”_
> _“Julián is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world… Besides his great play and intelligence, he sacrifices a lot for his team._
> _“Kylian is a natural goalscorer; if he’s not the best player in the world today, he’s certainly the second best._
> _“They’re both among the best players in the world… I’d choose both, honestly.”_
