'Leave with his head held high' - Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe labelled PSG's greatest ever player as Thierry Henry insists he shouldn't be judged on Champions League failure

PSG lost <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/psg-player-ratings-vs-borussia-dortmund-kylian-mbappe/blt2d3b6fc43c6e4faf" target="_blank">2-0 on aggregate to Borussia Dortmund</a> in the semi-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday, ending Mbappe's hopes of winning the competition with the French giants. The 25-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-told-99-percent-chance-kylian-mbappe-completes-summer-transfer-la-liga-president-javier-tebas-psg-superstar/bltc49c45bb55a533e5" target="_blank">looks set to join Real Madrid this summer</a> and despite failing to win the Champions League during his six years at the French club, Arsenal legend Henry believes he is PSG's best player ever and insists his positive legacy is intact.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Henry said on CBS Sports: "Kylian Mbappe, we all know he is leaving. He was magnificent for PSG. You [Mbappe] can leave this club with your head held really high. It's not everyone that can win everywhere, especially the Champions League. But the big man played really well all his career for PSG so I am not going to judge him personally on not winning the Champions League."When asked if he considers Mbappe to be PSG's greatest ever player, Henry added: "It's not even a discussion. The impact he had all over the world, what he has been doing; for me, yes. He will go down as the best player for PSG."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">"He will go down as the best player to play for Paris Saint-Germain." 🇫🇷⭐ Thierry shares his thoughts on Kylian Mbappe's PSG legacy ⬇️ <a href="https://t.co/gTh0Z6cxxC">pic.twitter.com/gTh0Z6cxxC</a>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1787964376936263969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 7, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT THIERRY HENRY SAID

Mbappe has won more than a dozen domestic trophies since signing for PSG in 2018 but his side fell short every time in their bid to win the Champions League. If the French World Cup winner does depart Parc des Princes this summer as expected, he will have scored 255 goals in 306 games and helped the team to unprecedented success. And according to Henry, those feats will not be forgotten.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After helping PSG win yet another Ligue 1 title this season, Mbappe's side can also win the French Cup when they take on Lyon on May 25. Before then, however, they host Toulouse on Sunday night.
