TNT Sports commentators Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves discuss whether they would choose Kylian Mbappe or Thierry Henry.

Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward, Kylian Mbappe, was in celebratory mode as he scored his team’s first goal during the UEFA Champions League last 16 second leg football match against Real Sociedad. The match took place at the Anoeta stadium in San Sebastian.

TNT Sports experts Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves, both renowned sports pundits from England, expressed their preference for Mbappe over Erling Haaland or Harry Kane. They believe that Mbappe has the potential to have a better career than the legendary Thierry Henry.

Mbappe’s impressive performance led Paris Saint-Germain to reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win over Real Sociedad. This victory took his tally to six goals in the competition this season, which is the joint-highest alongside Bayern Munich’s Kane, who also scored a double in their victory over Lazio.

On the other hand, Manchester City’s danger man, Haaland, is set to play against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday, with one goal behind in the rankings. However, both Ferdinand and Hargreaves agreed that if they had to choose between the three strikers, they would pick Mbappe.

Ferdinand expressed his admiration for Mbappe’s ability to create opportunities on his own, stating that he would pay to watch him train, let alone play in a match. He believes that Mbappe has that special something that sets him apart from the other two strikers.

Hargreaves compared Mbappe to Thierry Henry, acknowledging that Mbappe’s talent is on an unprecedented trajectory. While Henry had remarkable longevity in his career, Hargreaves believes that Mbappe is on a similar path. He confidently stated that Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or and has already proven himself by winning the World Cup.

With rumors of Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid at the end of the season, Ferdinand emphasized that his adaptation to a new league will be crucial in defining his career.

In conclusion, Mbappe’s exceptional performance and potential have caught the attention of English sports journalists, who believe he has what it takes to surpass the achievements of Thierry Henry and become one of the greatest footballers of his generation.
