I guess Kylian Mbappé must’ve vanished from the face of the planet.
He also left his team. By chance, went to PSG, which is an attractive club. Unlike many others.

I haven't seen much noteworthy improvement in mbappe's game over the last year. About 2 leagues lower compared to R9 at the same age. League below Messi/Maradona/Pele at the same age for that matter.
But he still plays in France.
Agreed. 21 goals & 9 assist only a few weeks after his 20th birthday isn't anything special. Clearly hasn't grown as a player despite this being his most productive season. Oh, and being a key member of a WC winning team? Every young player can do that.
Are you even a Brazilian or did you adopt French identity as well? No sane person who has watched R9 would ven compare him with Mbappe. Nzonzi won the WC as well and even played in the final, so what? Capdevila won a European Championship and a World Cup as well.

Talented players in France end up with 2 options. (1) play for PSG (2) leave the country. Can't improve the league that way.
I guarantee you he wouldn't get 21 goals and 9 assists in the same amount of games in La Liga or EPL.
You've lost the plot. Try again.
Read post 106. Everthing has been explained in detail already and cannot be countered as those are all factual statements that results and history confirms as well as the present.
There are only 2 truly elite players in Ligue 1. One is called Neymar (the best of them) and the other is called Mbappe. The other noteworthy players are all great, good or above average players. Then you have a lot of exciting talents who can either succeed or the opposite.
Your deluded idea of Ligue 1 magically having a Neymar and Mbappe at all 20 clubs and 100's of talents of Ndombélé's potential is what it is. Delusion.
The same Lyon which was selling its best player in the summer? Also, I see there are rumors about Fekir leaving as we speak.
After you sell your best players you either find ways to continue competing (like Liverpool did after selling Coutinho by reinvesting the money) or fail to (like Monaco did after selling most of their golden generation). But I bet that selling Fekir won't make Lyon any better.
Nor will the exit of one of its best players strengthen the league. Which was the point.
