Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has lauded Kylian Mbappe as Paris Saint-Germain’s finest footballer, despite the team’s Champions League elimination by Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
Mbappe, typically a key figure, failed to shine in the semi-final clash, which ended in a 2-0 aggregate loss for the French Ligue 1 champions.
Speculation swirls around Mbappe’s future, with a move to Real Madrid looming.
However, Henry commended Mbappe’s contributions to PSG, emphasizing his stellar performances throughout his tenure.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry expressed admiration for Mbappe’s professionalism and global impact, asserting his status as PSG’s greatest ever player.
Henry said: “Kylian Mbappe, we all know he is leaving. He was magnificent for PSG.
“You [Mbappe] can leave this club with your head held really high.
“It’s not everyone that can win everywhere, especially the Champions League. But the big man played really well all his career for PSG so I am not going to judge him personally on not winning the Champions League.”
When asked if he considers Mbappe to be PSG’s greatest ever player, Henry added: “It’s not even a discussion. The impact he had all over the world, what he has been doing; for me, yes. He will go down as the best player for PSG.”
