Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Former Barcelona attacker Neymar was once asked to name his top five players in the world. The Brazilian had omitted Cristiano Ronaldo's name from his list at the time.
While playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2020, Neymar picked his top five players. According to Spanish outlet MARCA, he started with two of his former Barcelona teammates, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
The Brazilian attacker then named his former PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe, followed by Chelsea legend Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba. He didn't pick any of his Brazil teammates and also snubbed five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former PSG star had added that he would have loved to play alongside Romario, Zinedine Zidane, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Ronaldo Nazario. After spending six years at Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar left Les Parisians to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for a reported transfer fee of €90 million in September 2023.
