The youngster netted the treble against Nimes, while also chipping in with an assist in the 6-0 triumph, and admitted that the feeling was difficult one to comprehend.

"It's an amazing feeling, “ he said, speaking to Canal+

“I can not really describe how I feel. I do not realise at all, but when I get home and talk to my family I'll really realise it and at that moment I will be very happy."
