Tuesday night brought together two of the biggest superstars in world football as Erling Haaland’s Manchester City went head-to-head with Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid. Haaland found the net twice – outscoring Mbappe by one – but it was Madrid who emerged victorious with a thrilling 3-2 win in the first leg of the Champions League playoff round.
Ahead of the clash, the debate over which striker reigns supreme dominated CBS Sports studio discussions, with Thierry Henry delivering a masterclass in analysis when asked to settle the debate as the pair have emerged as the two likeliest heirs to the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi duopoly.
Alongside fellow pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, the Frenchman dissected both players’ careers in detail and shared his thoughts on why he believes one has the edge over the other.
