Neymar likely won’t win a Ballon d’Or in his career but these five moments make him a legend

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are undoubtedly the two most popular players on Earth. When it comes to who the third most-known player is people will typically cast their vote for Brazilian star Neymar.

Critics love to discredit the Brazilian as he’s never won the Ballon d’Or nor reached the heights of Messi and Ronaldo. The highest Neymar ever finished in the Ballon d’Or rankings was two third place finishes in 2015 and 2017, behind Messi and Ronaldo both times.

What a move from the 20-year-old.

The moment that is going viral on social media came when Messi was being marked by Peru’s Yoshimar Yotún. Leo toyed with the 33-year-old sitting him down twice and then still managing to get away when reinforcements arrived.
