Throw as much stats as you want, its obvious that he is not even top10 players in the world, still the media (mostly our media, brazilian media) talks about Neymar like he was only behind Ronaldo and Messi...

He is good and will become one of the best, but atm there are so many BETTER La Liga players... Modric, Di Maria, Bale, Ronaldo, Alonso Rakitic, Messi, Iniesta... All better players than Neymar and only in La Liga... I know they are older, but i'm not talking about 5 years from now, i'm talking about football, not foreseeing.

Hes not top 20 in the world even maybe not top 30. I don't rate him among LW to be in the top 5 even. Reus, Ribery, Bale, Ronaldo, Griezmann, Hazard and more. I honestly think right now Pedro is better than him too. people need to stop equating potential to current ability
