"He hasn't done it in the Champions League" - British actor rubbishes claims that PSG star Kylian Mbappe is the best player in the world
British actor and poker player Rory Jennings does not believe Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Kylian Mbappe is the best player in the world.
The French international has been in excellent form over the years on the domestic and international stages. Many believe the former AS Monaco forward, along with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, are football's biggest superstars of the next generation after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Jennings, however, is reluctant to label the French international as the best footballer in the world. The English actor claimed that the PSG superstar has not showcased his talents in the biggest leagues in world football, despite his exploits in the French top division.

Mbappe had an exceptional 2022/23 campaign for the Parisians as well as the French national team. The young forward racked up an impressive 41 goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions for the club last season.
Mbappe also put on some stellar performances for Les Bleus in Qatar last year. He scored eight goals and provided two assists at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including a hat-trick in the final.
Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, has urged PSG to retain Kylian Mbappe at the Parc des Princes. She can't understand why the Parisians have issued a contract ultimatum to the French superstar.
The Ligue 1 giants are currently in the midst of a contract battle with their prized forward, who wants to join Real Madrid next summer.
Mbappe is adamant about not signing a contract extension, with his existing deal set to expire
