In front of his TV, Ludovic Giuly, the former wisp of Barça and PSG, vibrated during the brilliant Parisian success (4-1) against Barcelona.
Pushed to the sidelines in Catalonia by the emergence of young Lionel Messi fifteen years ago, he appreciated, as a connoisseur, the exceptional performance of Mbappé.
How would you qualify Mbappé's performance at Camp Nou?
LUDOVIC GIULY.
It is the Kylian that we especially like because the ground was perfect for him: big, deep with space between the lines.
With his speed, he was in his element.
And above all, what skill in front of goal: four direct chances and three goals.
Should we underestimate this performance by saying that Barcelona were weak?
There was a small Barça because there was a big Paris!
Of course, Barcelona is aging and at the end of its cycle.
But PSG managed the perfect match.
Can we talk about a transfer of power between Mbappé and Messi?
Calm and beware of contempt.
Mbappé will soon be Ballon d'Or.
We all know it.
But he still needs consistency.
What Leo has done for fifteen years cannot be compared to a hat-trick, certainly sublime.
I don't like when you want to erase everything or redo history.
I wish him the same path, but it will have to be long.
We're talking about Messi anyway.

VIDEO. Barcelona-PSG: "The best player in the world today is Kylian Mbappé"
Does the outbreak of Mbappé remind you of that of young Messi?
These comparisons mean nothing.
Let Kylian chart his course.
He has other qualities: he goes very quickly and becomes very skilful.
He is on one side while Leo is playing more in the middle.
Mbappé's fate is not to be a new Messi but to become Mbappé.
Can he, too, win six Golden Ball?
He is the succession of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi but do not go too fast.
Already, he is doing the opposite: he is at the top with the selection, but not yet with his club.
To be great is to last.
I am confident but only time will tell its value.
Let him already win the Champions League.
Once that is done, will he have this incredible demand not to slack off?
I'm waiting to see him after his first Golden Ball.
Will he want to be the best one year or five?
But you don't have to put it all back to Kylian.
That is to say ?
All the spotlight is on him after his hat-trick, which makes sense.
But he would not have done anything without an exceptional Paris.
All Parisians had a great match.
It was tough everywhere.
This PSG has been very serious.
The team just floated on a strike from Griezmann.
But PSG were perfect.
Our newspaper gave it a score of 10, which is extremely rare ...
(He cuts)
.
10 is when there is a trophy at the end of the match.
Perfection is the fit.
It would have been a Champions League final, OK.
But there, I would have put 9.9.
Is La Liga the league that suits him best?
Paris are a great team, but it would be so good in the Spanish stadiums.
His qualities are perfect for that.
He is well in Paris.
Let's make the most of it.
Let's not send it overseas too quickly anyway.
