Jay Chou Is The Envy Of World Cup Fans, Thanks To These Pics With Lionel Messi & Kylian Mbappe

Even if you weren’t one of the many, many people who watched the World Cup final between Argentina and France on Sunday (Dec 18), you would have heard or read about it by now.

Argentina emerged victorious in the exhilarating match, beating France 4-2 in penalties. The win gave football legend Lionel Messi his first, and probably only, World Cup trophy.

Of course, many celebs also tuned in to the match to root for their favourite team, and to see which superstar, Messi or French forward Kylian Mbappe, would get his happy ending.

Turns out Mandopop King Jay Chou and his wife, Hannah Quinlivan, are one of the lucky ones to have had taken photos with both Messi and Mbappe, who scored three goals in the final. 

Jay is very involved when it comes to helping children with special needs. He is one of the sponsors of the welfare foundation at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) football club, which happens to be the club both Mbappe and Messi play for.

It was no wonder Jay was given the VIP treatment during his visit to Paris last year, and got to snap a pic with Mbappe (and also Brazilian football god Neymar) when he visited the club’s home stadium.

Two months ago, Jay and Hannah were in Paris for Fashion Week, and they caught PSG’s match the night before an event. That was when they got the chance to take a photo with Messi.

After the World Cup final, football fans have returned to both of Jay’s posts to gush about the stars, saying that seeing them in the same frame as the pop icon is simply “a dream come true”.
