Certainly, Kylian Mbappé’s extension to Paris Saint Germain has tensed Spanish journalists and former Real Madrid players. The former midfielder Guti, who opened the doors of Real wide to the French a few weeks ago, now believes that Mbappé would have things to prove, as he explained on the set of Chiringuitos : “If he’s the best player in the world, he has to show it. At the moment it is not. How long has he been in Paris? 5 years ? How many Champions Leagues has he won? How many Golden Balls? He may be the best player in the world but right now he isn’t.”
If he admits all the same that the 2018 world champion has potential, he does not see him as the best of the season and is not sure that he will be in the years to come: “This year the best is Benzema. He may be next season but we don’t know who will explode, like Vinicius or Haaland. He represents the future but for the moment he is not the best player in the world. He’s a player who has the projection of being the best in the world, but so far he hasn’t demonstrated it at PSG in 5 years. He won neither European Cup nor Ballon d’Or but obviously he won Ligue 1.”
