A simulation shows what would happen if Kylian Mbappe and Thierry Henry raced against each other.

Mbappe starred as Paris Saint-Germain booked their spot in the next round of the Champions League.

He scored a stunning brace, ripping the net in the process.

In the game, he clocked an estimated speed of 10.9 seconds over 100 metres.

Mbappe is one of the fastest players in world football - if not THE fastest.

His fellow countryman Henry was also regarded as a speed demon as he showed off his pace during his legendary spell at Arsenal.

What would happen if they raced against each other?

Well, a TikTok user has pitted Mbappe and Henry against each other in FIFA 23. Check it out below:

Both forwards are equipped with a 99-rated card, including 99 pace each.

But the simulation couldn't separate Henry and Mbappe.

From the edge of the box to the opposite end, they both clocked a time of 8.28 seconds, resulting in a tie.

Speaking after Mbappe's dazzling performance for PSG in the Champions League, Henry hailed his showing as he assessed his lethal finishing.

"I'm going to show you how difficult it is, and please, this guy makes it look easy," said Henry.

"You need to be ahead of the ball... but very important, the last touch he did was there, the one after was striking the ball so that touch that he makes to be ahead of the ball, he needs to make sure that he touches it well enough for it to come here to finish, not there, but here with your shoulder facing the two posts... Now, the goalkeeper is going to stop, he's not active he can't really move."

The 46-year-old added: "[The goalkeeper] thinks that he's really going to go there because he opened his body up to finish at generic power. Now, the next step, look at his shoulders. This is why you have to come back into it. When you come back into it, the goalkeeper believes that you're going to open up because it doesn't leave you a lot of space but because you froze him going like that... it's very difficult now to lift your leg because of that body position and that's why the big man is special."
