Neymar and Mbappe has been wreaking havoc at the French capital so far this season and has even been deemed by former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti as successors to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Speaking to Telefoot, Ancelotti said, "He is a credible candidate to take the place of these champions [Ronaldo and Messi] who win all the trophies."

"I think that Mbappe and Neymar can be the successors of Ronaldo and Messi.

"If he [Mbappe] does not win the Ballon d'Or this year, he will win it in the coming years without any problem. All teams dream of having him."
