Jean-Pierre Papin Says Kylian Mbappé Is the Greatest Striker in France History

Former Ballon d’Or winner Jean-Pierre Papin has praised Kylian Mbappé, saying he believes the forward is already the greatest striker in the history of the France national team.

“He Is the Greatest Striker Today”

Papin said that in his opinion, Mbappé has already reached a level that places him above every other striker who has played for France.

He explained that the only major individual award still missing from Mbappé’s career is the Ballon d’Or.

Comparison With His Own Career

Papin also compared the situation with his own career, saying he never focused on winning the Ballon d’Or but still ended up winning it.

At the same time, he admitted that what he really wanted most was a World Cup title, something he never managed to win.

Huge Praise for Mbappé

The comments show just how highly Papin rates Mbappé, especially considering he is one of the greatest strikers France has ever produced. Saying Mbappé is already the best in the country’s history is one of the strongest compliments a former French legend can give.
