Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar heaped praised on teammate Kylian Mbappe saying that the France international has the potential of becoming one of the best players in history.

Neymar also feels that Brazil's team is 'very strong' and is very optimistic about their chances in the World Cup Qatar 2022.
