Several fans consider Thierry Henry as one of the greatest strikers ever to play this beautiful game of football.

During his playing days, Henry displayed his magic on the field consistently, both in club football and international football.

Thierry Henry retired from playing football on the field a long time ago. In recent times, Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe have taken up Henry’s spot in front of the goal for the French National team.

During a recent episode of ESPN FC Extra Time, French football legend Frank Leboeuf had to make a choice between Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappe, and Thierry Henry.

Henry’s former teammate had to answer who would he start, bench, and drop among Henry, Benzema, and Mbappe, given all of them are fit and in their prime.

Frank Leboeuf could not decide at first and took some time to reveal his choice. He also admitted that this was a tough choice.

But in the end, Frank said, “Let’s say Benzema, Mbappe, and I drop Henry. Because they are gonna put the tiredness off the other players and Mbappe is going to finish the job.”

Just like Henry, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema are very hard to defend against. This season, both of them have been banging goals game after game.

The FIFA World Cup 2022 will take place later this year. And given the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema upfront, France are going to be a strong contender for the title this year once again.

Can Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema help France win back-to-back FIFA World Cups?

The France national football team are the reigning world champions. Kylian Mbappe played a major role in helping France get their second FIFA World Cup four years ago.

Now with Benzema back playing for the national team, Mbappe and co. will look to get their hands on the FIFA World Cup trophy once again.

The Real Madrid striker had a phenomenal season so far in domestic and European competitions.

Teams might struggle to defend against France, given the form these two forwards are in currently. Not only Benzema and Mbappe, but France have also got many top-level players in other areas of the field.
