adminBARCELONA. — Barcelona forward Neymar is on his way to becoming the world’s greatest player, according to Brazil soccer legend Rivaldo. Rivaldo won the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 1999 while playing for the Catalans and believes Neymar can achieve similar feats, despite admitting his compatriot is still behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.“He’s a great player and for sure he will be the best in the world. When Barca signed him I said he was a great player and that he could end up being one of the best in the world, and I think little by little he’s actually doing that,” Rivaldo told Barca TV.
“Today he has Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in front of him, but Neymar is doing a good job and soon he will be the best player.”
Last season Neymar scored 31 goals in 52 appearances to help Barcelona to the domestic La Liga and Copa Del Rey double. — Sky Sports.
