When pressed to choose, Bayern Munich superstar Thomas Muller picked Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ace Kylian Mbappe ahead of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Muller admitted that Henry was a world-class footballer but still could not keep him ahead of the Parisian superstar.

Bayern Munich ace Muller participated in ESPN’s You Have To Answer quiz and had to answer some controversial questions. The German was asked to take his pick between two French World Cup winners, one from a generation gone by and the other from the current crop of superstars. Muller acknowledged Henry’s genius, but ultimately ruled in the PSG man’s favor.

Muller said:

“Nowadays I go for Kylian Mbappe, but Henry was world-class.”

Henry, who won four Premier League Golden Boots during his time at Arsenal, scored 360 goals and claimed 177 assists in 792 games in his club career. The 1998 World Cup winner represented France in 123 international fixtures, recording 51 goals and 30 assists.

PSG’s crown jewel, on the other hand, is Les Bleus’ current undisputed talisman. The former AS Monaco man has scored 180 goals and provided 88 assists in 224 games for the Parisians since July 2017. For his country, he has turned up in 57 games, pitching in with 27 goals and 21 assists.

He won the Young Player of the Tournament award at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, with him scoring four goals in seven games to help France to World Cup glory.
