PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot 'flattered' by Zizou praise

PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot has welcomed praise from Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane was impressed by Rabiot in PSG's rout of Barcelona in the Champions League last week.

"They really made a big, big game. It was a great victory for Paris and, if there was perhaps someone to stand out that impressed me, all were impressive, but it is true that Rabiot was exceptional," said Zidane.

Rabiot was asked by Europe 1 about the comments last night.

"It's pretty flattering. It's always nice to receive compliments like that, especially from someone like him. We all know the player that he was. But it was a victory for the whole team," he responded.
