Skriniar Hails PSG Team-mates Mbappé and Dembélé as “Best in the World”

After PSG recorded a 4-1 win over Lorient, Milan Skriniar hailed Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé as the two best players in the world.

 

Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé were hailed as two of the best players in the world right now by Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Milan Skriniar after their starring roles in a 4-1 triumph over Lorient.

The duo were each on target twice at the Stade du Moustoir in Wednesday’s contest as Luis Enrique’s men took another step closer to the Ligue 1 title.

Speaking to RMC Sport, centre-back Skriniar had high praise for PSG’s superstar duo after a game where he felt the team were not at their best.

“I don’t think it was our best performance, because at 2-0, we could have controlled the match better,” he said. “We lost too many easy balls but we know that up front we are very strong. I think we have the two best players in the world [Mbappé and Dembélé] at the moment so we are happy for the victory.

“For me, they are the two best players in the world. We know their qualities, they help always the team with their goals, with their actions, with everything they do. It’s easy to play with them.”

PSG are not quite over the line in Ligue 1 yet as second-placed Monaco defeated Lille 1-0 later on Wednesday. It means PSG are 11 points clear of their rivals with only four games remaining and the title will be theirs with victory over Le Havre at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.
