The former midfielder of PSG and the French team, who only shared the locker room in Blue with Kylian Mbappé since he left PSG in 2017, the year of Mbappé’s arrival in the capital , noticed right away that the former AS Monaco player had extraordinary qualities, as he revealed to the Parisian : “I saw him arrive very young in selection. He already had so much talent and this singular ability to work that I imagined him becoming one of the best players on the planet.
However, even if the qualities were already undeniable, the former Juventus player did not imagine that the PSG player would progress so quickly: “I didn’t think he would progress so quickly. What he achieves at 23 is just exceptional. And it’s far from over, because he has an incredible hunger for collective and individual titles. ‘Blaisou’ even compares the pair Mbappé and Benzema form to some of the most formidable duos in football history: “his duet with Karim (Benzema) has few equivalents in the world. With them, France is spoiled. It reminds me of the great years of Brazil with Romario and Bebeto or Ronaldo and Rivaldo.
