Former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has made a candid admission, declaring that Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe has surpassed him as a footballer.
Renowned as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Henry showered praise on Mbappe, describing him as a “monster” and a true embodiment of French football.
In an interview with Le Parisien, the ex-Barcelona striker lauded Mbappe’s talent and versatility, stating that the young forward’s exceptional abilities have propelled him into the realm of the future.
Henry emphasized Mbappe’s potential to excel regardless of his future club, amidst swirling rumors about the PSG star’s next destination.
Mbappe’s pivotal role in France’s 2018 World Cup victory, coupled with his consistent performances at the club level with Paris Saint-Germain, have solidified his status as one of the premier talents in world football.
Henry told Le Parisien, “Kylian will be good wherever he goes. We are talking about a monster here. Let’s be happy that he is French. Kylian, everyone envies us. Every time I am abroad, people say to me: ‘How lucky you French are to have a player like him.
“He has already overtaken me! It’s already done. Kylian is already in the future and that is good anyway because it is France, it is our football and we need this guy who represents us kind of everywhere,” he added.
