The Paris Saint-Germain forward's struggles in Russia did not go unnoticed by one of the greatest players in World Cup history
Legendary Brazil striker Ronaldo believes Neymar's hotly debated performances at the World Cup fell short of the heights expected of him.
The world's most expensive player netted just two goals in Russia and often cut a frustrated figure as the Selecao were bundled out in the quarter-finals by Belgium.
His performances were at times overshadowed by the criticism he received for theatrically reacting to tackles and physical attention.
Ronaldo sympathised with the Paris Saint-German star, suggesting his influence was curbed by the fractured metatarsal which ended his club season in February.
