The Brazilian found the Frenchman before bursting forward, with Mbappe then picking out Neymar despite coming under pressure from the defenders.

Neymar used his fancy footwork to fashion a shooting chance and saw the ball disappear into the back of the net, despite the keeper's best efforts.

Mbappe then added insult to injury by scoring two quick goals after that to register a first-half hat-trick. He went on to grab a further two in the second half as PSG ran riot.
