Real Madrid striker, Kylian Mbappe should never be compared to Thierry Henry, Patrice Evra has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Mbappe doesn’t even come close to Jean-Pierre Papin when it comes to the best French forwards to ever exist, talk less of the legendary Thierry Henry who carried teams on his back.

Evra added that fans should not be putting Kylian on pedestals he simply does not deserve yet.
His words, “When you start saying that [Mbappé] is the best player or one of the best, I’m thinking, he doesn’t even come close to Jean-Pierre Papin. Let’s never compare Mbappe to Thierry Henry. Let’s never compare him. You’ve created this product. For me, [Mbappe] takes too much heat, but when you talk about the best players in the world… Guys, did you see Henry’s performances? You’re putting people on a pedestal who aren’t on a pedestal.”
WOW.
