The sun appears to be setting for players like Messi and Ronaldo, but people are not sure who takes over from them. The game of football must go on and new breeds must emerge.
To help you solve this issue and keep your passion alive, Arsenal Legend, Thierry Henry, has some news for you.
He identified Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe as the natural ‘heir’ to Argentina captain, Lionel Messi and Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Thank goodness Mbappe is already learning from Messi, being in the same club with him.
Mbappe became the record goal scorer in PSG‘s history over the weekend with his 92nd-minute strike against Nantes.
The France international scored his 201st goal for PSG, eclipsing Edinson Cavani to become the record goal scorer for the club as he helped his side clinch a 4-2 French Ligue 1 win against Nantes.
