Maxwell praises Neymar

Paris Saint-Germain defender Maxwell has praised fellow Brazilian international Neymar.

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form since joining Barcelona from Santos last summer, with the attacker scoring 12 times in 29 appearances for the Catalan outfit this season.

"Neymar has magic in his feet. He has put in some great performances for Barcelona," the left-back told Marca.

"I hope he is soon able to find his best form again after his injury."

Maxwell earned his first Brazil senior cap last August at the age of 31.
