Better than Cristiano Ronaldo! Kylian Mbappe listed as toughest player to defend against by PSG team-mate Lucas Hernandez after battles during Bayern Munich playing days

As a left-back for Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and now Paris Saint-Germain, Hernandez has faced some of the best attackers in the world. The 27-year-old now shares a locker room with Mbappe, and has identified the Frenchman as the toughest opponent he's ever faced.

Hernandez was tasked with dealing with Mbappe when Bayern Munich - his club at the time - met PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2021. The defender didn't fare too well, with Mbappe scoring twice as the French side won the first leg in Munich 3-2. As a youngster at Atletico, he came up against Ronaldo in the Madrid derby.

Hernandez told Le Parisien: "If I have to bring out one, I would perhaps say Kylian. It’s never easy to defend against such fast players. When I was at Bayern, he hurt us in the Champions League in 2021. When I was at [Atletico] Madrid, I played derbies against Cristiano Ronaldo. What a player! He had everything."

Luckily for Hernandez, Mbappe is his teammate at PSG and the France national team. On Wednesday, PSG will look to secure a place in the Champions League last-16 by beating Borussia Dortmund.
