Neymar is a player of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s “calibre”, claims former Paris Saint-Germain player and manager Luis Fernandez, with the Brazilian considered to be “at the level of the Ballon d’Or”.
The modern day superstar has finished third in the Golden Ball vote on two previous occasions, with his quality being recognised by peers around the world.
With Messi and Ronaldo now well into their 30s and approaching the end of their remarkable careers, Neymar is being tipped to land the prestigious individual prize at some stage in the near future.
