The world is experiencing domination from these two clubs in recent years after getting new management. Manchester City and PSG are now the driving force of their leagues having world-class talents in their ranks.

1: Personal Stats
The style of player Foden is suited as a central midfielder while Mbappe is more of a winger and can also play as a striker. In PSG the generational Kylian Mbappe has found the back of the net easily and has many goals in his name for Ligue 1 and the Champions League.
It’s easy to point out that Kylian had a better season last year and is performing great this season too. Meanwhile, Foden helped his team win the Premier League too but since he is a midfielder his contributions did not reflect on the personal stats.
Kylian Mbappe is the winner in this category.

2: Titles
Every player is rewarded if he is the best and these two have their fair share of trophies. The Man City and Pep Guardiola favourite won 10 titles including 3 Premier League, 1 FA Cup and 4 times League Cup winner.
In the capital of France Mbappe has won pretty much everything except the Champions League. Kylian has lifted 15 titles and is way ahead of his competition as PSG continues to dominate Ligue 1 with great players such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, Verrati, Navas and Mbappe of course.
People claim Ligue 1 to be easy compared to the Premier League and it makes this category more difficult. Phil Foden is 2 years younger than Mbappe and can catch up with him when he reaches his age.
Despite having fewer trophies Phil Foden is the winner in this category.
No better feeling!! Champions! 🏆 Living my dream and grateful for every moment 💙 pic.twitter.com/0R252UP6nS

3: International Career
The career of Foden with England is under process and he did not win anything with his country yet. He is expected to get more game time for England in future and people have high hopes for the next generation. The young England team looks promising and maybe Foden can lift a title or two with England in future.
Everyone knows the success Kylian Mbappe experienced with France and how important he is for the team. He won the World Cup and the UEFA Nations League before the age of 22. This player is a crucial asset of the French team and he is always called up for international duty despite having an abundance of other talented players.
Mbappe is the undisputed winner in this category.

Is Foden better than Kylian Mbappe? Who is the better player?
The people who understand football will agree that these two are exceptionally talented players way ahead of many other players of their age. The Man City midfielder Foden is comparatively younger and is still learning under Pep. In future, he may as well turn out to be a legend of City or get his name among the list of most elite midfielders.
In the French capital, there is no competition from Foden as Mbappe is ahead of him in many categories. He can pass, dribble, score, defend and assist to make him the most important player on the field. The player did not just perform well in Ligue 1 but also in the Champions League and with the French National team. He scored a goal in the World Cup final and helped his team to lift it.
"I didn't meet Messi at 17 years of age like I did Phil Foden." 👶

These two players can be the next biggest rivalry if things turn out that way. Pep compared Foden with Messi while Mbappe is a big fan of Cristiano. The age gap between them is 2 years which is almost similar to Cristiano and Leo. Cristiano is a winger and Mbappe plays on the wing too while Messi dominates the ball from midfield and Foden does that too for City. The world can again be divided into two halves in future when these two players reach their prime.
Based on all the provided stats Kylian Mbappe is the winner.
Who is the Better Player?
Trent Alexander Arnold Or Reece James?
Mason Greenwood Or Phil Foden?
N’Golo Kante Or Kevin De Bruyne?
