PSG: "Mbappé is the heir of Messi and Ronaldo", Michel Platini praises the world champion

After Franck Ribéry at the microphone of Sky Sport, it is Michel Platini's turn to say the greatest good of Kylian Mbappé.

The former number ten of the Blues and president of UEFA, answered questions from the special envoy of the Gazzetta dello Sport who came to meet him in Cassis.

During this interview, Platini assured that the PSG striker was in his eyes "the heir of Messi and Ronaldo".

“He is very strong, very fast.

Today is the best,” he said.

In passing, he slipped that he did not see himself as an heir.

“Because there is no longer a number 10, he explained, but distant leaders like Jorginho and Pirlo.

Maybe, in today's football, I wouldn't play… ”It is moreover Jorginho who, according to him, deserved the Golden Ball.

Not Messi.

“Who won the Champions League and the Euro?

" he asks.

Asked about Ronaldo's failure at Juve, Platini does not go by the back of the spoon.

“With all the esteem I have for him and Messi, he said, I said stop at 32.

I could have gone to Barcelona, ​​to Marseille, but I wanted to be identified with the club with which we had written history.

Ronaldo was Real and Messi Barca.

I would not have gone to another big club, but to the USA or China”.

These words also take on a very special meaning when we bring them closer to those he made in December 2019 about the future of Kylian Mbappé.

“There is no bigger club than PSG today, believed the former tricolor coach (1988-1992).

Historically, it's true that there are Real Madrid, Juventus.

But the means of PSG are the same as these big clubs.

So Mbappé can very well spend his whole career at PSG, which has taken French football to another dimension.
