Real Madrid legend Guti claims Neymar is better than Mbappe

Former Real Madrid star Guti has now claimed that Neymar is more gifted technically than Mbappe.

However, speaking to El Chiringuito TV, the three-time UEFA Champions League winner was quick to clarify that he would prefer playing Mbappe over Neymar.

"Neymar is better technically than Mbappe," Guti said via Sportskeeda.
"To play with... I would choose Kylian," he added.

Since linking up, the two PSG players have struck a perfect partnership at Parc des Princes.

Last season, Mbappe ended the campaign as Ligue 1's top scorer, bagging 39 goals and registering 26 assists in 46 appearances across competitions.

On his part, Neymar managed 13 goals and eight assists in a season that was dotted with injuries.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain continued from where they left off last week with an emphatic victory over Montpellier at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, August 13.

A brace from red-hot Brazilian playmaker Neymar in conjunction with solitary strikes from new signing Renato Sanchez and the returning Kylian Mbappe laced with an own goal from Falaye Sacko ensured PSG continued their 100 per cent start to the new season.

Despite the landslide victory, what has dominated the headlines and gained traction was an off-the-ball incident by Kylian Mbappe.
