However, PSG boss Galtier has said that isn't the case and that Mbappe has no more power in that department than any other player. "It's wrong," he told RMC. "He embodies the project, there can be no doubt, but when I say that he embodies the project, it is not that he is above the club."
"Kylian is at the same level as all the other players. On the same level as Leo Messi, who has had an incredible career and is the greatest player in the history of football. Kylian is on the same level as Neymar," the PSG boss added.
