The Atletico Madrid coach gushed in praise of the Brazil star but believes Antoine Griezmann can pip him to the Ballon d'Or.
Diego Simeone has nothing but praise for Neymar ahead of Atletico Madrid's trip to Barcelona on Wednesday, labeling the forward "extraordinary."
The 24-year-old received criticism for his lifestyle during the close season, with some suggesting he was not committed enough to Brazil when he was seen partying during the Copa America.
Neymar responded on the pitch by guiding his country to Olympic gold in August, only to come under fire again last week for showboating during Barcelona's 5-1 win over Leganes.
