Neymar irritates opponents with his style of play, according to Thomas Meunier, but the Paris Saint-Germain defender does not want him to change. The Brazil superstar scored from the penalty spot as the Ligue 1 champion eased past Reims 4-1 on Wednesday.

"He is a frustrating player for opponents. He can stop suddenly with the ball and it makes it too much sometimes. It's quite annoying, I can understand it. Also, it's an advantage for us," the Belgium international told reporters.

PSG will put its 100 per cent record in Ligue 1 on the line again when it travels to Nice on Saturday.
