Neymar launches new mobile game

Users can create their own player and start as a beginner before working their way up to superstar level.

Throughout the game, Neymar provides coaching and advice through video messages.

The 26-year-old Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil star has also recreated the Neymar Institute - his sport and education complex for children in Brazil - for in-game play while his father, Neymar Sr, appears as an agent who advises on contract offers from clubs.

"Being a passionate gamer, I have always wanted to launch my own mobile football game," he said.

"Match MVP is sensational and aesthetically very beautiful. The re-creation of the Neymar Jr Institute in the tutorial is awesome.

"I sincerely hope my fans will have lots of fun with this game, and let's see who can become the best."

The game, developed in partnership with Swedish studio 'Like a Boss', will be available to download on Monday.
