'Neymar and Mbappe? We know they have privileges...'

The 22-year-old did not shy away from being honest to the French newspaper about the special leeway that both his team-mates enjoy under Unai Emery.

"Unavoidably, he [Neymar] is someone with privileges, we know he has some. Kylian too," Rabiot openly admitted, although he also wanted to stress that it wasn't something that affected him.

He declared: "It doesn't bother me and I don't pay attention [to it]. I'm not jealous of either of them".

Finally, the young Frenchman spoke in particular about the naturalness of the Brazilian's behaviour since arriving at the Parc des Princes: "In the dressing room, Neymar is a very simple guy. He could be a little more arrogant, but that isn't the case at all".

Rabiot has featured 11 times for Emery in Ligue 1 so far and will be hoping to do so again as the Parisian club take on Toulouse on Saturday and could potentially be an unlikley inclusion in the Champions League too.

PSG face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie on Wednesday in a match that could have a huge impact on the future of Zinedine Zidane.

The Madrid head coach is under pressure to deliver a third successive triumph in Europe's top competition, with his side 19 points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona and out of the Copa del Rey.

Rabiot expects the holders to be fired up for the encounter but considers the tie to be finely balanced: "Madrid will want to save their season. They will be really motivated. They have great experience in this competition, which is less so in our case. In my view, it's 50-50."
