Thierry Henry, the former Arsenal captain, declared that Kylian Mbappe is the greatest player Paris Saint-Germain has ever had.
On Tuesday night, PSG fell short as Borussia Dortmund knocked them out of the semi-final. Mbappe wasn’t able to make his usual impact, and PSG lost 2-0 on aggregate, failing to score any goals across both legs.
It seems likely that this was Mbappe’s last appearance in a PSG jersey for a European competition, as he’s expected to move to Real Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Despite this, Henry, speaking on CBS Sports, praised Mbappe’s achievements and declared him the best player in PSG’s history.
“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.”
