Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc believes that Lucas Moura is benefiting from an extended run in the first team.

The 21-year-old has shown glimpses of his quality since a big-money move from Sao Paulo in January 2013 but has failed to hold down a regular place.

He has appeared 25 times in Ligue 1 this season and his manager is pleased with his progress.

"Lucas is scoring a lot of points at the moment," Blanc told FourFourTwo. "He is getting better because he is playing a lot.

"He wasn't far off scoring an incredible goal against Marseille. It was a world class passage of play and had he scored it would have been seen around the world."

Moura may be involved again as PSG take on Bastia later this afternoon.
