'They don't need them': Thierry Henry's BIG claim about Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid

Real Madrid continued to create European History as they went on to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League final at ‘the home of football’, Wembley stadium in London and won their record extending 15th UEFA Champions League crown. 

In what was considered to be a transition season for the club with the departure of Karim Benzema and no new signings to replace him, Los Blancos managed to complete a league and Champions League double.  

While there is a lot of fanfare around the incoming signing of Brazilian striker sensation Endrick and the potential arrival of one of the best players in the world in Kylian Mbappe, France legend and one of the most prominent strikers in history of football, Thierry Henry has made a big claim over the signings.
