Neymar Jr., the Brazilian superstar, sparked a heated debate in a recent interview with Pingpong.com. The forward, known for his skill and flair on the pitch, was put on the spot in a "winners stays on" game, where he had to choose between some of the greatest players in football history.
The game started with a straightforward choice between Thierry Henry and Arjen Robben, with Neymar opting for the French legend. However, things took a interesting turn when he chose Kylian Mbappe over his former teammate and friend. Mbappe went on to win against Ousmane Dembele, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish, but Neymar shocked everyone by choosing Ronaldinho over the French star.
The real challenge came when he had to choose between Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. After a moment of hesitation, Neymar chose Ronaldo, citing his impressive goal-scoring record. The next question was inevitable - Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? Neymar didn't hesitate, choosing his former Barcelona and PSG teammate Messi.
In a surprising turn of events, Neymar chose Messi over himself in the final question, showing just how much respect he has for the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner. This gesture has sparked a lot of debate among football fans, with many praising Neymar's humility and respect for his peers.
Neymar's career has been marked by incredible highs and lows. He is Brazil's record goalscorer with 79 goals, and was once considered the third-best player in the world behind Messi and Ronaldo.
