Neymar, the PSG superstar, shared his thoughts on the five players who have more technical ability than him.
The 30-year-old winger, who is regarded as one of the best players in the world, has not shied away from displaying his incredible flair and skill on the pitch for club and country.
Neymar rose through the ranks of Brazilian club Santos to become one of the game's fastest rising stars, with top European clubs vying for his signature at the time.
Barcelona was the Brazilian winger's next destination, and he thrived alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at the Camp Nou.Neymar's incredible talent drew the attention of current club PSG, who paid a world-record transfer fee of 200 million to sign him in 2017.
The ex-Barcelona star has continued to excel for club and country, with Neymar forming an effective partnership with Messi and Kylian Mbappe at PSG.
In an interview with Oh My Goal, Neymar expressed his belief in his own abilities, claiming that he is one of the most technically gifted players in the world today.
The Brazil international heaped praise on Barcelona legend Messi and named him as one of his picks, claiming that "everyone wants to play with him."Messi was joined in Neymar's top five picks by Real Madrid flop Eden Hazard, Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, PSG teammate Marco Verratti, and Liverpool midfielder Thiago.
When asked about players who are more technical than him, Neymar responded, "More technical than me?! More than I...
"I'm not sure I can answer that; with all humility in the world, I consider myself one of the most technical players in football today."
"But I'd go with Messi." I'd like to play with Messi again today because he's the best of all time. Every club and every player adores him. Everyone wants to play with him.Messi, Hazard, De Bruyne, and Verratti are my picks. I'm missing one, right? More technical than I... Thiago.
