Henry explains why PSG ace Mbappe superior to Man City's Haaland

Arsenal great Thierry Henry admits he rates PSG striker Kylian Mbappe ahead of Manchester City's Erling Haaland.

Henry has insisted that he would still pick Mbappe in his team ahead of Haaland despite the City star scoring another two goals against Sevilla in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Mbappe also struck twice last night in victory against Juventus.

"Mbappe can create and finish. Haaland doesn't create. He finishes," Henry told 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."
