Barcelona forward Neymar can beat Messi and Ronaldo to next Ballon d'Or, says Miranda

The Brazilian's international team-mate believes a stunning effort against Uruguay has highlighted how good the forward can be this year

Brazil star Neymar is on track to win the next Ballon d'Or, according to team-mate Miranda.

Neymar took his tally to 51 international goals in 76 games with a stunning effort in Thursday's 4-1 thrashing of Uruguay in World Cup qualifying.

He got on the end of a clearance from Miranda before delicately lobbing goalkeeper Martin Silva.

While Paulinho stole the show with a hat-trick, Miranda was full of praise for Barcelona star Neymar.
