For me, Kylian is a player who can play in all positions but at some point you have to learn it. You have to know a little about the job and learn to play number nine on the job at Real Madrid, it’s not easy. (…) It takes time to learn how to play with your back to goal.

Mbappé “touched”

We know very well that he is one of the best players in the world. And I repeat it but let’s be happy that he is French. Now I have to know if I’m being asked the question of the player or the human being. And it’s super important because at some point you have to sort things out. Who knows what it’s like to always be number one? Not many people. Human beings, from time to time, yes, they can be touched and that is completely normal. And that, for me, is completely normal. At one point, everyone thought it was a robot. He’s not a robot, he’s a human being who has emotions like everyone else », concludes Henry.
