Henry on PSG's Draw with PSV: "Mbappe could have changed the game"

Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry believes that ex-PSG forward Kylian Mbappe could have made a significant difference in the Champions League match between the Parisians and PSV, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

"After Kylian's departure, there were claims that the team would become more stable and balanced. Initially, this did seem to work—they appeared as a cohesive unit. Yes, they have become more of a team and more stable, but they have lost Mbappe, which is very challenging. In such matches, Kylian could have turned the game around, making it 2-1 or scoring a decisive goal at the end—those are the moments of magic. You've lost part of that magic, even though the team looks more balanced. However, that's clearly not enough," Henry was quoted as saying by RMC Sport.

Mbappe left the Parisian club last summer to join Real Madrid.

With four points to their name, PSG currently sits in 17th place in the Champions League table.
