Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has described team-mate Kylian Mbappe as a ‘phenomenon’ after his display against Lyon.
PSG made it a record-breaking nine straight wins in Ligue 1 when they thrashed Lyon, who were expected to hand them a tough test, by 5-0.
World Cup winner Mbappe netted four times to take his total for the season to 10 with four assists and Neymar has nothing but praise for his fellow frontman.

“For me he’s a phenomenon. I hope it will continue like that for several years because football will thank him.”
