Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel says he is not in the business of judging Kylian Mbappe against others he has trained.
Mbappe has emerged as one of the brightest talents in the game, and has already helped guide France to a World Cup at the tender age of 20.

Having worked with the likes of Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Tuchel refused to answer when asked if Mbappe was the best player he had work under him.
“That’s a dangerous question!” Tuchel laughed. “I’ve coached Aubameyang, Ousmane Dembele… Auba will always remain in my heart.
“Kylian is exceptional, but Neymar and [Edinson] Cavani are also up there. Incredible players. I don’t like phrases like ‘the best’ or ‘better than’. We’ve very happy with our players.
“Everyone in the locker room knows how reliable and super important Mbappe is, but I don’t rank players. He still has things he needs to improve, even if that’s hard to believe!
According to Tuchel, “Everyone pushes him to his limits and he is able to do that. He’s of massive importance this season.”
