Neymar is already one of the greatest players of all time, and still has time left. Hopefully he gets out of Arabia soon, but a World Cup is all he’s missing.
By that logic we could knock CR7 down a couple notches...I don't think a WC trophy is needed to be considered one of the best. Messi almost didn't get one but we'd still consider him to be the greatest ever if they lost. I'd say the same goes for Neymar and CR7 they are still among the greatest even without that trophy
@@Grooove_e but cr7 didn't left Europe at 31 unlike Neymar. Huge difference. Ronaldo still have second biggest international trophy(euro) with weaker team but Neymar can't do anything with such strong Brazil or psg
@@Grooove_e Yes but in the end of the day Messi has 2 WC MVP trophies, 1 lost final against one of the best national teams ever existed , And 1 Won WC final , 1 Finalissima, 1 Copa win, 3 more finals, multiple copa MVPS , and honestly the argentinian team of messi is worse than Neymar's brazil AND CR7 portugal. Not to mention that this argentinian team has like.. a ridiculus amount of undefeated matches.. like 36 -37 or smt.. i think only italy and 1 more team has a better ratio than that. I also don't think WC trophy is essential to be called the GOAT, it takes a lot of luck and very few matches determine the outcome. But The overall achievements of messi in a national level are just too many.
He's always been very strong spirited but very injury prone like most players. Yet his spirit made him survive and not retire. He always carried thr team on his back. In brazil world cup he carried his team to semis and it looked sure they'll win with a pretty inexperienced team. But his absence made the nation suffer a horrible loss in home ground. I remember being heartbroken watching each goal and the single Oscar goal was painful to see. Yet he was desperate and always mocked for acting on the pitch. But no one can't deny he's once in a generation talent. He's definitely had longer career too. But constant injuries, lack of respect, money, gambling, women all of it made him lose his spirit a bit by bit. Yet he wants to go for it. And he deserves a world tittle. If he was born in this generation where incredible talent is lacking he'd be a top player over haaland and mbappe easily.
Even with Neymar Brazil would have been thrashed by Germany (just not as hard) due to Thiago Silva missing. Only with BOTH OF THEM on the field we might have had an interesting match,. I think Germany still would have won though because 2 superstar quality players cannot defeat 11 amazing ones, who stand together like a true team.
If he stayed at Barça, it would be a different story. I honestly believe that. He would've won more major trophies as he would be such an important figure in Barça, especially in post Messi era. It would be a mutually beneficial thing for him and Barcelona. That was the plan and he himself have said, he fked it up. Now it's too late and he has already left Europe after wasting the last few years in France. Either way, he was the only name that could be placed next to Messi-Ronaldo during their glorious era. That's something. Edit 1: Comparing yourself to The God of Football would be a mistake no matter who you are. No one will ever be as valuable, appreciated and loved as Messi, especially in Barça. However, I still believe if he stayed in Barça, he would have a much better career football wise. Both parties would be better if he didn't leave. Barça wouldn't be a sinking ship it is now if the 220 million from him leaving happened as the failures of replacing him wouldn't happen. It would still have financial problems because Bartomeu and his board of muppets would still fck things up colossally but at least the Neymar replacement part of the equation wouldn't exist. And by now, he would probably be the biggest star in Barça since Messi was sacrificed. It's all "if" and that's the best way to describe Neymar's career. Lots of if.
It’s quite funny, cause leaving Barca was his biggest downfall, so it’s quite poetic that him leaving was also Barca’s biggest downfall. After his departure came the string of poor and unfulfilled transfers that lead the club to bankruptcy and humiliation. The biggest transfer in the world and it sent him and Barca down opposite sides of the same rough hill.
i wish he stayed at barca or at least went to a better team than psg. imagine if he never got injured during the world cup and imagine if he could have done more with his career. we will never know now ig.
It would be nice a video about Bebeto, the brazilian player that did a duo with Romario in the 90s and won the 1994 world cup, aways between the best players in the world in the early 90s, but few people outside of Brazil talk about him Another Brazilian players thar deserve a video are Carlos alberto torres, one of the best players in the world in the 60s and 70s, and a crucial part of brazil's succes in the 1970 world cup And Giovani Elber and Mario Jardel. Two Brazilian goalscorers that featured few for the national team, due to the players that brazil already had in their position in the late 90s and early 00s
My favourite player, I think in the terms of a talent, no one comes even close to Him, he is unlucky with many injuries. I like Him as a person cause he seems to be humble just enjoying what he is doing cause some players are not l think...for me this guy is an art of football and I will always remember Him no matter if he wins some big trophy or not. That is what makes Him different than other accomplished footballers, people still talk about Him...
So sad man I thought he would be the greatest I remember watching him in Haiti, moral of the story is be patient your time will come, that's all he needed but chose to leave too early.
the one thing people mistake about describing Neymar's game is when they say he has poor work ethic. the dudes has the highest work rate every game running around creating chances.
Crazy thing is that despite him not reaching his full potential, I would still rank him at least in the Top 15 players of all time. Still such an underrated player.
@@RaymarFootball messi also had pressure especially after his badly he performed in 2010. Plus hopes from Neymar increased after how good he performed in 2014 wc n in that age. Only Ronaldo didn't have any pressure because his country rarely qualified for wc before him. Winning the euro made them more happy than a wc will make Brazilians happy
my (former) favorite player of all time his attitude and the people he kept around him have been his incredibly disappointing downfall. heartbroken the 2nd half of his career has been what it has been
His attitude is pretty good every teammate and coach of his have only said good things about him. One of his faults though is his career decision making skills
He had a great career. Won trophies 🏆 traveled around the world, extremely rich and talented and gots lots of beautiful women. People who say he’s a flop are losers.
He’s the last one man show. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. He had great numbers but his playstyle let him down. We all loved watching him but if he kept it more efficient, less tricks, he could’ve had even more goal contributions which is scary but it’s why he always came so close to victory but failed. He has a great legacy but he was supposed to be THE best and he was never that.
I remember hearing about him long before ever watching him play in the Confederations cup in 2013 and i have never been as convinced by a talent in my life as he completely dominated that tournament. Seeing how much of a disappointment he has been is almost too surreal to imagine.
Very fun to watch player. He can beat his marker 1v1 any way he wants, and versus multiple opponents even... sometimes what he used to do on the pitch would exceed my imagination. His greatest game ever, for me, was the "Remontada" against PSG. Up to that point I did not think it possible to play for Barca, dictate the game in the attack and not being named Messi. Neymar did that impossible thing in the most impossible comeback. Free kick, assist, all in the dying minutes of the game. He took the reigns and won it. The aforementioned free kick and assist is just an indication of these aspects of his game. He does have the free kick, the playmaking, and the scoring in his repertoire but he is mostly known for his dribbling. It's natural, because dribbling is what separates Neymar from the rest. It feels like this type of dribbling is a dying art. Especially in the English game, which sadly eclipses the other leagues in terms of viewership and popularity. Even if nowadays there is a Kvaratskhelia, a Vinicius, a Leao... they still don't have the skills that Neymar had. And also I believe they don't match Neymar's dribbling volume. I am not sure how the statistic can back it or not, but that's what I assume. Messi never was very fancy with his tricks and dribbles, because he did things that looked simple but work for him everytime. He never really had to do something different until recently. Messi is (or rather "was" 😢) a freak because he can/could dribble with great precision at very high speed. Also because of the volume of his goals, assists, free kick goals, consistency, longevity, decision making... Ok, you get the point. Neymar lacked the consistency and longevity, and although on the pitch his decision making wasn't bad, his career decisions were terrible for his "legacy". The talent remains intact by his career decisions and injuries. His legacy is tainted though. His theatrics at the 2018 WC also hurt his image a lot. If only people would judge on talent alone, Neymar would still be one the most beloved and appreciated princes of football. However, at the end of his career, I think he will get the recognition that he deserves as one of football's greats.
I can say one thing Neymar style of playing is one of a kind, while running with football with full speed and dribbles a lot of players, the secret is he makes a connection with gravity and wind all at single time makes him a LEGEND,those who knows know
Beautiful commentary on the prince of football that never became king! He should've stayed at Barcelona, after Messi's departure, he could've been the one for Barça
Injuries are not always due to bad luck, most of the time it's precipitated by poor preparation and training. Unfortunately Neymar's nature is too relaxed, lazy even. And laziness could be very crippling to some. Most of his injuries I think could've been prevented by more dedicated time in the gym. Another example is Hazard, retired at 32, multiple injuries but notoriously known for his laziness and minimal training between games. A player is not just prone to injures, you have to look sometimes for the reasons.
Im a huge madrid fan and hated how good MSN was but i am so heartbroken still at the fact that he left Barcelona. I really wanted to see his potential flourish there. Raw talent was completely insane i loved the dynamic he brought to MSN. Unstoppable 3
Neymar ruined his legacy by joining PSG and not winning the champa league... what a set of skills and consistency!!! Ok Brazil lowballing in his tenure has nothing to do with him but dosent help him in writhing his legazy.... Amazing player and a true legend
My take on Neymar as a Messi fan is: Ney = Messi skills + Ronaldo athleticism + a little flavor I think he had objectively more talent and he could've been the best without a doubt. I think ultimately his mistake was to leave for psg. Even if he wanted to leave barca he should've picked a better team to go to (which is funny cause there was no better team back then). It's like Haaland wanting to leave man city for chelsea or any other team. LUDICROUS!!!!
He had an unbelievably high ceiling and potential to be the best. Him being fouled more than any other player probably took a huge toll on his body. He was good, but not as good as he should’ve been
Neymar used to be amazing to people our age (based on when you started highschool, we are similar ages) but over time many people including myself just lost respect for him due to his lack of commitment, antics on and off the field. I think, because we are so wishful that we could only be so lucky to be in a position like him with his talent, that it angers me to see someone waste it.
Neymar is a amazing player but always in my eyes Suárez is 3rd of this generation ik different players but Suarez was a freak I hope you do a video about him
First time I heard of Neymar, he showed up with Santos against Red Bulls and I still remember saying "who is this guy, what's so special about him" Neymar had too many shoes to fill from a country that produced some of the best players in the world, I personally think fame got to his head and didn't focus enough on his job.

@@SamSAM-oj7pw Robinho was nowhere close to Neymar when it comes to dribbling, actually as a player in general Neymar is better at everything when compared to Robinho lol
@@Mateus1570 overall I agree, but focusing on dribbling only, I think Robinho was better or equal. Anyway If we talk about his generation, Neymar was surpassed by a lot of player in general and if we talk about specific skills many other names will come to your mind before him.
He will definitely win the FIFA World Cup 2026
That would be crazy but if he stays healthy and fit he could still be in good form
@@RaymarFootball He will overcome his unhealthy lifestyle for worldcup 2026
I really wanna see him win this trophy
@@rocbyronaldo7406I dont think the greatest footballing nation would want a 35 year old camel in their squad for the biggest competition in the whole world
We would always argue who was better messi or ronaldo, but we all wanted to play like neymar
yeah facts 😂😂😂
Neymar is already one of the greatest players of all time, and still has time left. Hopefully he gets out of Arabia soon, but a World Cup is all he’s missing.
it’ll be incredibly tough but there’s still a possibility if he goes for 1 last one
By that logic we could knock CR7 down a couple notches...I don't think a WC trophy is needed to be considered one of the best. Messi almost didn't get one but we'd still consider him to be the greatest ever if they lost. I'd say the same goes for Neymar and CR7 they are still among the greatest even without that trophy
@@Grooove_e but cr7 didn't left Europe at 31 unlike Neymar. Huge difference. Ronaldo still have second biggest international trophy(euro) with weaker team but Neymar can't do anything with such strong Brazil or psg
@@acclimatized8838 I see your point. I was only referencing the original comment about the world cup trophy, but what you said does make sense.
@@Grooove_e Yes but in the end of the day Messi has 2 WC MVP trophies, 1 lost final against one of the best national teams ever existed , And 1 Won WC final , 1 Finalissima, 1 Copa win, 3 more finals, multiple copa MVPS , and honestly the argentinian team of messi is worse than Neymar's brazil AND CR7 portugal.
Not to mention that this argentinian team has like.. a ridiculus amount of undefeated matches.. like 36 -37 or smt.. i think only italy and 1 more team has a better ratio than that.
I also don't think WC trophy is essential to be called the GOAT, it takes a lot of luck and very few matches determine the outcome.
But The overall achievements of messi in a national level are just too many.
He's always been very strong spirited but very injury prone like most players. Yet his spirit made him survive and not retire. He always carried thr team on his back. In brazil world cup he carried his team to semis and it looked sure they'll win with a pretty inexperienced team. But his absence made the nation suffer a horrible loss in home ground. I remember being heartbroken watching each goal and the single Oscar goal was painful to see. Yet he was desperate and always mocked for acting on the pitch. But no one can't deny he's once in a generation talent. He's definitely had longer career too. But constant injuries, lack of respect, money, gambling, women all of it made him lose his spirit a bit by bit. Yet he wants to go for it. And he deserves a world tittle. If he was born in this generation where incredible talent is lacking he'd be a top player over haaland and mbappe easily.
Even with Neymar Brazil would have been thrashed by Germany (just not as hard) due to Thiago Silva missing. Only with BOTH OF THEM on the field we might have had an interesting match,. I think Germany still would have won though because 2 superstar quality players cannot defeat 11 amazing ones, who stand together like a true team.
It was a gift when I saw him play in Barcelona! So sad what happened after that 😞
If he stayed at Barça, it would be a different story. I honestly believe that. He would've won more major trophies as he would be such an important figure in Barça, especially in post Messi era. It would be a mutually beneficial thing for him and Barcelona.
That was the plan and he himself have said, he fked it up. Now it's too late and he has already left Europe after wasting the last few years in France.
Either way, he was the only name that could be placed next to Messi-Ronaldo during their glorious era. That's something.
Edit 1: Comparing yourself to The God of Football would be a mistake no matter who you are. No one will ever be as valuable, appreciated and loved as Messi, especially in Barça.
However, I still believe if he stayed in Barça, he would have a much better career football wise. Both parties would be better if he didn't leave.
Barça wouldn't be a sinking ship it is now if the 220 million from him leaving happened as the failures of replacing him wouldn't happen. It would still have financial problems because Bartomeu and his board of muppets would still fck things up colossally but at least the Neymar replacement part of the equation wouldn't exist. And by now, he would probably be the biggest star in Barça since Messi was sacrificed.
It's all "if" and that's the best way to describe Neymar's career. Lots of if.
He performed well in his first year before injury he led psg to their first finals the only thing that ruined him was unavoidable injuries
It’s quite funny, cause leaving Barca was his biggest downfall, so it’s quite poetic that him leaving was also Barca’s biggest downfall. After his departure came the string of poor and unfulfilled transfers that lead the club to bankruptcy and humiliation. The biggest transfer in the world and it sent him and Barca down opposite sides of the same rough hill.
I don't think so because after some time barca management fuc.ed if he moved to City or Bryan (ie with PEP) then that's a different story
@@sub_n33urath122pep would kick him out if he wouldn't change his lifestyle just like what he he did to Ronaldinho
Even with messi gone and neymar stays, he's still will be overshadowed by messi since that guy ingrained the club so much.
Finally someone put respect to Neymar and talk about stats. Nowadays everyone is criticizing him. Pogba deserve this kind of criticism.
Neymar should of never left Barća...but he followed the bag💰...he will forever remembered as what could have been😢.
the greatest wonderkid ever
The Vegeta of professional football. No matter how strong he got, there was always Goku.
Maybe Gohan haha
i wish he stayed at barca or at least went to a better team than psg. imagine if he never got injured during the world cup and imagine if he could have done more with his career. we will never know now ig.
Neymar was a beast in PSG. It's the poor defence of PSG same goes for Brasil
Neymar should have left to Man City and not Psg
Imagine seeing Neymar and Salah week and week out in the premier league along with Hazard😲🤤🥶
Kinda appreciate Messi and Ronaldo even more. Given they can keep their head straight.

It would be nice a video about Bebeto, the brazilian player that did a duo with Romario in the 90s and won the 1994 world cup, aways between the best players in the world in the early 90s, but few people outside of Brazil talk about him
Another Brazilian players thar deserve a video are Carlos alberto torres, one of the best players in the world in the 60s and 70s, and a crucial part of brazil's succes in the 1970 world cup
And Giovani Elber and Mario Jardel. Two Brazilian goalscorers that featured few for the national team, due to the players that brazil already had in their position in the late 90s and early 00s
My favourite player, I think in the terms of a talent, no one comes even close to Him, he is unlucky with many injuries. I like Him as a person cause he seems to be humble just enjoying what he is doing cause some players are not l think...for me this guy is an art of football and I will always remember Him no matter if he wins some big trophy or not. That is what makes Him different than other accomplished footballers, people still talk about Him...
So sad man I thought he would be the greatest
I remember watching him in Haiti, moral of the story is be patient your time will come, that's all he needed but chose to leave too early.
the one thing people mistake about describing Neymar's game is when they say he has poor work ethic. the dudes has the highest work rate every game running around creating chances.
Crazy thing is that despite him not reaching his full potential, I would still rank him at least in the Top 15 players of all time. Still such an underrated player.
What a cute little back story for the introduction Reymar
Hahahaha thank you
Neymar is great, but in Brazil you must win a World Cup to be considered one of the greatest, that’s a lot of pressure
Yeah and everyone was already expecting him to do it ever since he was 16… not even Messi or Cr7 had as much pressure tbg
@@RaymarFootball messi also had pressure especially after his badly he performed in 2010. Plus hopes from Neymar increased after how good he performed in 2014 wc n in that age. Only Ronaldo didn't have any pressure because his country rarely qualified for wc before him. Winning the euro made them more happy than a wc will make Brazilians happy
I always thought that Raymar was your actual name! Loved this video!
Nooooo 😂
Good video as always but are you able to make a video about paulino alcantara. I know there isnt even much footage of this
my (former) favorite player of all time his attitude and the people he kept around him have been his incredibly disappointing downfall. heartbroken the 2nd half of his career has been what it has been
His attitude is pretty good every teammate and coach of his have only said good things about him. One of his faults though is his career decision making skills
0:13 Oh boy the memories... Those were the days!
Indeed man, you really had to be there to experience the hype. I dont think any other footballer will have so much hype in a really long time
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Left Barca for PSG and still ended up living in Mbappe's shadow 😂
I remember when i was a kid here in Brazil and having the same haircut as Neymar was Basically a dream
He will be remembered for being a fan to a fellow footballer more than anything
He had a great career. Won trophies 🏆 traveled around the world, extremely rich and talented and gots lots of beautiful women.
People who say he’s a flop are losers.
He’s the last one man show. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. He had great numbers but his playstyle let him down. We all loved watching him but if he kept it more efficient, less tricks, he could’ve had even more goal contributions which is scary but it’s why he always came so close to victory but failed. He has a great legacy but he was supposed to be THE best and he was never that.
He’s the last of his kind. These days players are just athletes in complex tactical systems.
They are no longer magicians with the ball.
That’s so true man… Very few still have that magic most are getting older and retiring
Exact same feeling
I remember hearing about him long before ever watching him play in the Confederations cup in 2013 and i have never been as convinced by a talent in my life as he completely dominated that tournament. Seeing how much of a disappointment he has been is almost too surreal to imagine.
Neymar is football with fun not stats ,sure he dives alot ,but damn is he fun to watch idk what haters say
Very fun to watch player. He can beat his marker 1v1 any way he wants, and versus multiple opponents even... sometimes what he used to do on the pitch would exceed my imagination. His greatest game ever, for me, was the "Remontada" against PSG. Up to that point I did not think it possible to play for Barca, dictate the game in the attack and not being named Messi. Neymar did that impossible thing in the most impossible comeback. Free kick, assist, all in the dying minutes of the game. He took the reigns and won it.
The aforementioned free kick and assist is just an indication of these aspects of his game. He does have the free kick, the playmaking, and the scoring in his repertoire but he is mostly known for his dribbling. It's natural, because dribbling is what separates Neymar from the rest. It feels like this type of dribbling is a dying art. Especially in the English game, which sadly eclipses the other leagues in terms of viewership and popularity. Even if nowadays there is a Kvaratskhelia, a Vinicius, a Leao... they still don't have the skills that Neymar had. And also I believe they don't match Neymar's dribbling volume. I am not sure how the statistic can back it or not, but that's what I assume. Messi never was very fancy with his tricks and dribbles, because he did things that looked simple but work for him everytime. He never really had to do something different until recently. Messi is (or rather "was" 😢) a freak because he can/could dribble with great precision at very high speed. Also because of the volume of his goals, assists, free kick goals, consistency, longevity, decision making... Ok, you get the point. Neymar lacked the consistency and longevity, and although on the pitch his decision making wasn't bad, his career decisions were terrible for his "legacy". The talent remains intact by his career decisions and injuries. His legacy is tainted though.
His theatrics at the 2018 WC also hurt his image a lot. If only people would judge on talent alone, Neymar would still be one the most beloved and appreciated princes of football. However, at the end of his career, I think he will get the recognition that he deserves as one of football's greats.
Hahahahahaha nice. I have always wondered where the name came from. Now that was a well waited for bit of fan service. Raymar
9:45 Griezmann also finished in top3 twice, 2016 and 2018.
Literally the video I was waiting for now can U also please upload a video on garrincha
Best Brazilian player since Kaka and Ronaldinho
Messi won player of the tournament in the 2021 Copa America
I can say one thing Neymar style of playing is one of a kind, while running with football with full speed and dribbles a lot of players, the secret is he makes a connection with gravity and wind all at single time makes him a LEGEND,those who knows know
Love the title 👍
I remember him for rolling endlessly on the ground after a light touch.
Beautiful commentary on the prince of football that never became king! He should've stayed at Barcelona, after Messi's departure, he could've been the one for Barça
Injuries are not always due to bad luck, most of the time it's precipitated by poor preparation and training. Unfortunately Neymar's nature is too relaxed, lazy even. And laziness could be very crippling to some. Most of his injuries I think could've been prevented by more dedicated time in the gym. Another example is Hazard, retired at 32, multiple injuries but notoriously known for his laziness and minimal training between games. A player is not just prone to injures, you have to look sometimes for the reasons.
Messi was the 2021Copa America player of the tournament not Neymar
Im a huge madrid fan and hated how good MSN was but i am so heartbroken still at the fact that he left Barcelona. I really wanted to see his potential flourish there. Raw talent was completely insane i loved the dynamic he brought to MSN. Unstoppable 3
Neymar stats are nuts ande people still talk trash about him is not even fair
Saw the boy play before his move to Barcelona. Ghana vs Brazil at craven cottage.
what a backstory for the name
Neymar ruined his legacy by joining PSG and not winning the champa league... what a set of skills and consistency!!! Ok Brazil lowballing in his tenure has nothing to do with him but dosent help him in writhing his legazy.... Amazing player and a true legend
One of the best. I believe he could have done better. Not in my top 5 for consistency and some subjective feelings. But again truly one of the best.
What are the subjective feelings
It's Ronaldinho all over again 😪Amazing form at Barca started to fall after leaving them.
His only bad year was 20-21 season
No way! Raymar lore just dropped
😂😂😂😂😂 made me laugh brother
Damn u always say it best😢
My take on Neymar as a Messi fan is: Ney = Messi skills + Ronaldo athleticism + a little flavor
I think he had objectively more talent and he could've been the best without a doubt. I think ultimately his mistake was to leave for psg. Even if he wanted to leave barca he should've picked a better team to go to (which is funny cause there was no better team back then). It's like Haaland wanting to leave man city for chelsea or any other team. LUDICROUS!!!!
Best way you could’ve titled the video 💯
He had an unbelievably high ceiling and potential to be the best. Him being fouled more than any other player probably took a huge toll on his body. He was good, but not as good as he should’ve been
At least he will keep on rolling in our memories.
*Ney gets his body ripped to shreds from brutal tackles and unlucky injuries*
Everyone: “his down fall was he chose money!!!”
Happy to see neymar playing this game
he is the most fouled player on the pitch. those injuries add up..
Fully agree.
Neymar is not a failure to my eyes he's one of the reasons I started even watching football he's a legend in my eyes
Definitely isnt, but just imagine his career if he won those finals that he lost 1-0 in
Neymar.. Raymer ❤❤❤
👏👏👏 Amazing video. I love how you called the Brazil-Croatia penalty shootout the most PATHETHIC penalty shootout you've ever seen. 😂😂😂
Neymar used to be amazing to people our age (based on when you started highschool, we are similar ages) but over time many people including myself just lost respect for him due to his lack of commitment, antics on and off the field. I think, because we are so wishful that we could only be so lucky to be in a position like him with his talent, that it angers me to see someone waste it.
Neymar is a amazing player but always in my eyes Suárez is 3rd of this generation ik different players but Suarez was a freak I hope you do a video about him
Better player or better scorer
Some sad stories don't have a goodbye
He had the talent to surpass them both, but not the dedication. He was more distracted with money
Neymar tinha potêncial e muito talento, mas não acredito que ele superaria o Messi, impossível pra mim.
New Raymar lore just dropped
I am sorry but going to psg was his doom. I love him. His style, his passion. But it is hearthbreaking
. He himself is the cause of downfall like any overhyped Brazilian strikers in recent history
Ngl, Raymar ‘s a cold name
This is so sad :( I wish so much to Neymar , he deserves what he never got :((
First time I heard of Neymar, he showed up with Santos against Red Bulls and I still remember saying "who is this guy, what's so special about him" Neymar had too many shoes to fill from a country that produced some of the best players in the world, I personally think fame got to his head and didn't focus enough on his job.
