PSG wonderkid Marco Verratti seems either unwilling or unable to give up.

The Italian midfielder was in stellar form last night, bagging two phenomenal assists in PSG’s 6-0 annihilation of Guingamp.

The diminutive midfielder was a t the epicentre of the action, showcasing this prowess in both defence and attack.

Despite the fact that his side hockeyed the opposition, Verratti’s determination to win back possession did not wane. He set up Zlatan to send the hosts 2-0 up after darting around the pitch, closing down nearly every opposition player on the ball and making three tackles to win back possession.
