Neymar has backed Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappe to write himself into the annals of football history.

The Brazilian was asked about the 21-year-old superstar in an interview with FIFA.com.

"Kylian is a phenomenon," he said. "He has the potential to become one of the best players in history. To have him as a team-mate is a huge honour. We understand one another very well on the pitch and off it too. I love him!"

Mbappe only turned 21 on December 20, and he already has 122 goals and 71 assists in 207 career games for club and country.
