Starting with the arrival of Lionel Messi in Paris. “This is particularly important for the club since it has managed to attract the best player in the world, with Cristiano Ronaldo,” he said. These two are on another planet. This is a very good thing for PSG and for French football which has gone through difficult times lately, particularly because of the issue of TV rights and the consequences of the pandemic.

A few days after having conceded a severe 3-0 against Al-Duhail, Laurent Blanc also spoke of Kylian Mbappé, very in shape currently as we have seen again against Leipzig (3-2). “He is very young and he has already done a lot, assures the former coach of the Blues. In addition, I think he can still improve. Everyone is unanimous in saying that he still has some progress to make even if he is already very strong. I think there are two players who have marked the last decades of football: Messi and Ronaldo. Unfortunately time is running out. I think Kylian is one of the players who can replace them, and he’s French, so much the better for us! “
