The Brazil international showered Barcelona legend Messi with praise and named him as one of his picks, saying that everyone “wants to play with him.”
Joining Messi in Neymar’s top five picks were Real Madrid flop Eden Hazard, Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, PSG teammate Marco Verratti and Liverpool midfielder Thiago.
When asked the question about players who are more technical than him, Neymar responded: “More technical than me?! Well, more than me…
