For Thierry Henry, there is no doubt. The former Arsenal or FC Barcelona striker, now coach of the France Espoirs team, believes that Kylian Mbappé is the best player in the history of PSG. As he declared Tuesday evening on CBS, after the Parisian club’s defeat against Dortmund (0-1) and the elimination in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
“If he is still among the best players in the history of the club? But it’s not even a debate, he replied. He’s number one, the best player in the club’s history for me. But other people who have seen other players will tell you that too. For me, Kylian Mbappé, with the impact he had and is having in the world, what he is doing and what he did in Paris, he will leave as the best player in the history of the PSG, yes. »
Mbappé, target of criticism
In recent hours, Kylian Mbappé has nevertheless been strongly criticized for his performances in the semi-finals of the Champions League, both in the first leg in Dortmund and in the return on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes. The captain of the French team did not score or weigh in on the game. These were certainly his last appearances with the capital club in the European Cup, as he is expected to leave France at the end of the season.
PSG finally lost without scoring a single goal, too little dangerous like its offensive leader. This elimination constitutes a real disillusionment for Paris, although favorites before facing Borussia Dortmund.
