Arsenal legend Thierry Henry was left in stitches at Kylian Mbappe's reaction to Neymar's free-kick ahead of their Ligue 1 clash against Reims.

The Paris Saint-Germain squad had been practicing their free-kicks before Sunday's 1-1 draw at Parc des Princes.

And Neymar nearly blew the 2018 World Cup winner's head off as he stepped up to take the set piece.

The France international watched on as his teammate stepped up, set his target and hit the ball with his right foot.

His effort went sailing into the top left corner, with the goalkeeper left rooted to his spot as he watched the ball nestle into the side netting.

Immediately after Neymar's curler, Amazon Prime cameras cut to Mbappe, who was stood behind him.

The PSG forward instantly started nodding and screwing up his face in approval as he took in the moment.

As a result, the broadcaster's pundits cracked up, with Les Bleus icon Henry grinning from ear the ear as they reacted to Mbappe's amazement.

Neymar ended up bringing the talent he displayed in the warm-up into the game, as he broke the deadlock in the second half after capitalising on a blocked effort from Lionel Messi.

However, just as PSG looked set to go five points clear at the top of Ligue 1, Reims equalised in the 96th minute through Gunners loanee Folarin Balogun.

So far this season, Neymar has scored 17 goals and recorded 15 assists from 25 games in all competitions.

Meanwhile Mbappe tops the club's scoring charts this campaign with 25 goals from as many matches, as well as chipping in with six assists.
