Van Basten: I'd be happy to see unpleasant PSG striker Mbappe really taken care of by someone

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar has been called a crybaby by a legend of the sport.

Former Ajax and AC Milan star Marco van Basten laid into the Brazilian winger recently.

His criticism came after PSG drew 0-0 in Ligue 1 against Stade de Reims over the weekend.

In an interview transcribed by Le Parisien, van Basten said: “Neymar is a real crybaby.

“One minute he's fouling someone and then the next he's playing the victim. No one is allowed to touch him.

“I would applaud if someone really took care of him, really tackled him. He is an unpleasant person on the pitch."
