Can't predict the future, people are saying he is one of the best 18 year old we've seen in years. That's something what already happened and won't change no matter what - turns 19 in december.
Kylian Mbappe | PSG
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
He's definitely one of the better 18 year olds we've seen in a while. Let's see how he fares in his first year at PSG.
Lol. Ok bro
I honestly don't think you've watched much of Mbappe
I've seen enough to know the hype is too much to ever be realized.
Raoul have you seriously edited the title just to make your agenda stronger?
This thread should be renamed "Hasn't been dropped"
Or better yet, future GOAT updates.

I knew you would eventually join the bandwagon. Sad.
If what I saw last night is poor form the god knows what good form is, the boy is special.
I guess I'm a hipster because I consider him as a promising talent. Henry was the latest great French striker. Benzema is very good but did nothing with France. M'bappé is a healthy player, which is a good starting point for the rest of his career.
The question is: who are the best under 21 offensive players? Dembélé, Rashford, Martial, Delle Alli, M'bappé,...
These players are learning the job and are POTENTIALLY the stars of the 2020s.
Definitely agree with all the players you listed. Some will do better than others imo
Eh... I'd rather say Benzema is a great player who is actually 5th highest scorer in UCL history and has better ratio than Henry himself in that competition. And it's even more impressive when you consider that Benzema had to compete with Higuain/Adebayor for playing time, being 3rd fiddle in Madrid's attacking line since Bale's arrival.
And regarding Benzema's contributions for France, I disagree. IIRC, he completed the 3rd most dribbles for all players, and had most chances created in the French team. Reminder that in 2012 this was the peak of (by their standards) the shitty French NT with average L1 players being called to be starters. Also, Benzema helped France qualifying for World Cup in Brazil and was their best playing in the tournament.
I'd be interesting to see him playing with Pogba, Griezmann who're much more matured and others from that French golden generation.
You're right to say Benzema is a great player. Great stats and impressive consistency. Of course, he should be the CF of France instead of Giroud and it's a pity not to see the association Griezmann-Benzema-Dembélé-M'Bappé
That said, he was given the opportunity to be the main man of that France team by ALL the previous national teams coaches - including Deschamps - in the last 10 years. Indeed, his 1st cap was in 2007. It means something is wrong with him: I don't want to elaborate on this point via diverse examples but look at his role in the Valbuena scandal. Also, what was his impact at the Euro 08, WC 10 (not selected because of his "communication skills" I'd say), Euro 12 and the WC 14?
You like stats
so I can say Benzema didn't score a single goal in 12 consecutive games with France i.e.1,222 consecutive minutes. Henry is the #1 top scorer with France: 51 goals versus 27 for Benzema. Henry was both a great player (instrumental at the Euro 00 and WC 98 victories, the WC 06) and a great man .You mention the stats of Henry but please don't ignore the context: Arsenal team versus the super power Real Madrid, not the same competitive landscape.You say France 2012 was shitty but it's the role of a great player to make everybody - including the NT coach - better.
To sum up my views, Benzema can only blame himself not to have played the Euro 16 at home and not to be part of the next World Cup.

Stayed out of this thread 'til I saw the title change - WTF?
The starting point was that the newspaper Lequipe had decided that M'bappé should be on the bench against Anderlect to let Di Maria play. Of course, he wasn't on the bench last Wednesday.Stayed out of this thread 'til I saw the title change - WTF?
So was he dropped after his headline or not?
But it appears there's as many who are extremely dismissive of him as well.
There's also many claiming he could the greatest ever, or that he's definitely the next Messi/one of the greats level player. To me, it appears too early for that. Especially given week in week out he's playing in a league weaker than the other top talents around and is in a better team than most of them.

I watched all their games. His trying to find his place and needs to be more selfish sometimes.
But if some people are expecting him to flop you better give up.
Even when he is in "poor form" he is able to toy with Bayern Munich defense.

Scoring again
Both impressive run and impressively shit defending.
Drop him.
The pass was that clever/good than "shit defending"Both impressive run and impressively shit defending.
Good finish also.
Ah he is good again buy him!
Nar, I have no idea what the 24 is playing at, he doesn't even try to block the danger zone there
Cracking finish mind.
That’s a superb finish, not bad that lad.
Pass was absolutely good, but the only way the pass happens is if that run comes in-behind the defender.
The defender saw (or should have seen) the moment from M'bappe and should have reacted, instead he did absolutely nothing. That and there were 2 players who could've gone out and made it harder for Alves(?) to pin-point that cross.
Good from the attackers, terrible from the defenders.
There is a reason why the defender plays for Angers.
Assist.
Drop him twice.
The way he's running in that clip.
He is a phenomenon, PSG are really frightening. How to use money well.

Look at that stand entirely empty!! Wouldn't he rather away days at the likes of a packed out Britannia and King Power?
I dont want him joining City please.
They were bound to get it right eventually. Now they are here, top of the ladder.
It's being built.
Pretty damn fine.
His technique is so consistent.
The art of defending is dead and unwell in France, it seems.
It's a hard skill to volley that when it's coming from behind you and get decent contact.
Yes, shit defending but he still had to finish from the good pass.
