Henry claims Man City star Haaland not on same level as Mbappe

Thierry Henry does not believe Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is on the same level as PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

Haaland has scored 10 goals in his first six matches for City, but France and Arsenal legend Henry would rather pick Mbappe.

"Mbappe can create and finish. Haaland doesn't create. He finishes," Henry said on CBS.

"Mbappe can play on the right and on the left. He can play in the middle. Haaland can only play in the middle.

"He is a magnificent player and with him they can win the Champions League last year.

"Against Real Madrid, if it was him at the end of those chances that they missed, they will have been focused on scoring one or two. For now, Mbappe is still my vote."
