Thierry Henry lauds Kylian Mbappé's exceptional talent, stating that Mbappé has already outshone him in football.

Thierry Henry, the France U21 manager, has showered praise on Kylian Mbappé, hailing the PSG forward as a 'monster' and 'mad' player. In an interview with Le Parisien, Henry expressed his awe at Mbappé's talent and impact on the France national team.

Henry on Mbappé's Remarkable Career

During his conversation with Le Parisien, Henry gushed over Mbappé, acknowledging that the young star has already surpassed his own illustrious career. Henry emphasized, 'He has already overtaken me! It’s already done.

Kylian is already in the future and that’s good anyway because he’s France, he’s our football, and we need this guy who represents us kind of everywhere. Kylian is extraordinary. He’s mad.'

Mbappé's Goal-Scoring Record and Future

While Mbappé continues to dazzle fans with his skills, there is one milestone where he still trails behind Henry. The PSG forward has notched 46 goals for Les Bleus, whereas Henry holds the record with 51 goals, just five shy of Olivier Giroud's all-time leading tally.

However, given Mbappé's form and consistency, it seems inevitable that he will soon surpass this feat, possibly in the upcoming international fixtures or the Euros this summer.
