Daniel Riolo once again made very strong remarks towards Kylian Mbappé this week.
A fantastic double to become a little more legendary: Kylian Mbappé burned his retina again on Friday against the Netherlands. The Bondy prodigy was the great architect of the success of the Blues in Amsterdam, synonymous with qualification for Euro 2024 (2-1). In addition to the quality of his goals, the striker leaves a very strong mark since these two achievements allow him to overtake Michel Platini in the ranking of the best scorers in the history of the selection.
Now at the foot of the podium, Kylian Mbappé has 42 goals in 72 caps. With a ratio almost identical to that of the former number 10 (72 selections for both). All at 24 years old. Figures that make Daniel Riolo dizzy, admiring the level reached by the Parisian in the selection.
“He’s really the only player who surpasses Platini, enthused Riolo in comments made on RMC. Yes, Mbappé is a striker and Platini was a 10 but what he does is incredible. It is the only one to be above 0.5 on average. When we talk about crack, we realize it. What he is doing in the France team is incredible and has been since he set foot in this team. It’s extraordinary. He is the one who carries the team, he is captain, he is the boss. »
“ The others (Giroud, Henry and Griezmann Editor’s note), it was said that they surpassed Platini but that was anecdotal because it had nothing to do with the number of matches…“, also added Riolo, rave about the talent of Kylian Mbappé.
