“He is a “fuoriclasse” (a player out of class) who can decide the fate of a match whenever he wants…” Here, in one line crossing the canvas, is the picture of Kylian Mbappé painted in the Gazzetta Dello Sport by Ronaldinho, 43, another prodigy who played for PSG (2001-2003) to the delight of Parisian fans and beyond two decades ago now.
At the Parc des Princes, apart from some under 25 years old, no one has forgotten the technical gestures, the inspirations and the rides of the little Brazilian who came to seek glory in Europe, starting in Paris in the early 2000s, with a smile irresistible for passport.

In the context of the match between PSG and AC Milan at the Parc des Princes this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.), “Ronnie”, retired from the field since 2018, has the particularity of having also worn the Rossonero jersey of Milan, between 2008 and 2011. Also, the Brazilian Ballon d’Or 2005 (while playing for FC Barcelona) greatly appreciates Leao, the Milanese wonder.
“He deserves number 10,” said the 2002 world champion, about the Portuguese. He’s a player who enchants me, all people who love football should share this opinion. His way of playing makes everyone agree. These are players (Mbappé and Leao) who transcend the people at the stadium, who encourage their supporters to spend money to go see their team, and the most neutral to be in front of the television. »
It remains to be seen which of the two heirs will deliver the best performance in the Porte d’Auteuil enclosure this Wednesday evening, while awaiting the rematch scheduled at the San Siro stadium on November 7.
