'He shouldn't have been so good!' - Thierry Henry explains why expectation is so high and criticism is so harsh for France and PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe

Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain

Toulouse

<p>Mbappe bagged a hat-trick against Gibraltar as Les Bleus drubbed their opponents, 14-0 — the biggest win in European Championship qualifying history. His third strike, a 40-yard chip of the goalkeeper, brought up goal number 300 for the forward's career.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mbappe is closing in on France's all-time top goalscoring record. The PSG star has now bagged 46 for his country, placing him third on the list. Only Henry (51) and Olivier Giroud (56) are ahead of him.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Reminder: Kylian Mbappe is still only 24 🔥 <a href="https://t.co/npyGSbxGRQ">pic.twitter.com/npyGSbxGRQ</a></p>— GOAL (@goal) <a href="https://twitter.com/goal/status/1725996324024098909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2023</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>With Mbappe closing in on his mark, <a href="https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/ballon-dor-winner-jean-pierre-papin-and-thierry-henry-in-awe-of-record-breaking-kylian-mbappe/" target="_blank">Henry claimed after the game</a> that the forward has the ability to keep finding the net: "What this little one does is not nothing. It’s just incredible […] the problem is when you are so good, people often see when you miss or when you’re not good. We expect a lot of him, but he should just not have been so good! Joking aside, let’s be happy that he is French. How high can he go? 1000. I’m overdoing it, but honestly, it is Kylian that decides."</p>

WHAT HENRY SAID

<p>The PSG star will appear for the Parisians as they take on Monaco this Friday. A win will take Luis Enrique's side four points clear atop Ligue 1. </p>
