Five months after the end of his career at Salernitana (Serie A), Franck Ribéry spoke of the shock of the knockout stages of the Champions League between Bayern Munich and PSG in an interview with SportBild. The former French international (81 caps, 16 goals) and legend of Bayern Munich returned in particular to… Kylian Mbappé.

“What Kolo Muani is doing in Frankfurt is great”
The one who stayed 12 seasons at Bayern Munich (2007-2019) then supported the possible arrival of Randal Kolo Muani, the Frankfurt and Blues striker, next season in Bavaria. “He has quality and character,” notes Ribéry. What he’s doing in Frankfurt is great. He is young and has potential, so the answer is clear. Bayern have always signed young players with great potential.

He is now the Kingsley Coman that I always saw in him. He shows what he has and plays at the highest level. There were many criticisms after his missed penalty in the World Cup final, but he is very strong mentally and he recovered. »
