What the French soccer legend says about Mbappe that surprises more than a few
Mbappe and Thierry Henry
Kylian Mbappe is being pure history with the France National Team. The PSG footballer reached 300 goals in his career and with this, he begins to have legendary figures that hint at what the footballer will mean in the coming years. The French forward is the great reference for the France team and a year ago he was close to winning his second World Cup at just 23 years old. Now, a legend already sends him an important message.
Mbappe is getting closer to France’s all-time goal scoring record. The PSG star has now scored 46 goals for his country, putting him in third place on the list. Only Henry (51) and Olivier Giroud (56) are ahead of him. Given this, Henry did not hesitate to comment on what Kylian is achieving at such a young age.
With Mbappé closing in on his mark, Henry stated after the match that the striker has the ability to continue finding the net: “What this kid does is nothing. It’s just incredible […] the problem is when you’re so good, people often see when you fail or aren’t good. We expect a lot from him, but he just shouldn’t have been that good! Jokes aside, let’s be glad he’s French. How far can he go? 1000. I’m going overboard, but honestly , it is Kylian who decides.”
Will Mbappe play for France again?
It remains to be seen whether the coach, in an inconsequential match, will line up Griezmann and Mbappé, who reached 300 goals as a professional against Gibraltar and is approaching second place, held by Henry, the French national team’s all-time top scorer. The one from PSG has 46 and the former footballer, 51. Greece, led by Gustavo Poyet, the discoverer of Koundé in Bordeaux, is risking the honor before seeking, in the next break, qualification via play-off to the next Euro Cup.
