PSG Player Names One Man Better Than Teammate Neymar

PSG Player Names One Man Better Than Teammate Neymar

The Brazilian might not be too happy to hear that and it's certainly a big call from his fellow PSG player.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the best two players in the world, this doesn't need to be discussed. But who is number three on the list, Neymar? Well one of his teammates doesn't think so.

When Cristiano Ronaldo inevitably wins the Ballon d'Or this year he will tie with Lionel Messi with five each and really put him on level footing with the Argentine. There's so little to pick between them for the best.

But whatever side you fall on the real question is who is the third best player in the world. At anyone time it seems it could be one of a number of players with Neymar arguably front of the queue.

For a while there's been a shared understanding that if anyone is going to wrestle that trophy away from those two players it's going to be the PSG forward. In fact it was one of the reasons for moving from Barcelona.

However one of his own teammates reckons there's a player who isn't Ronaldo or Messi that is better than the former Santos player. Speaking to Belgian site HLN Thomas Meunier was asked who was better Neymar or Eden Hazard with the full-back saying:

"Hazard, without a doubt. Eden is an exceptional player, and he has recently shown that against Cyprus. It's a big one that has grown older in the course of time. He is always in charge of the collective."

When Chelsea won their last Premier League title under Jose Mourinho it was expected that Hazard would stamp his mark of being one of the best players in the world by continuing his form.

However the next season he completely dropped off as Chelsea finished 10th in their title defence and Leicester won the title. Hazard's form encapsulated the change in performance from the Blues the season before.

Last season the former Lille winger was back to his best in helping the Blues to another league title, this time under Antonio Conte, but injury has stopped him continuing that form.

Who is better? Neymar or Hazard?
