Falcao, a star of the 1982 Selecao who also led Brazil into World Cup 1990 as coach, believes that this season could see the former Santos forward cement his status alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best in the world.

“I think that perhaps this could be Neymar’s greatest year in Europe so far, because he already has a year of experience,” Falcao told Lance!.

“I think this will be a good year for him. He's a player that has everything it takes to become one of the best in Europe.

“Of course, he has competitors. There is Cristiano Ronaldo, who is scoring goals all the time [and] Messi is a genius. The competition will be strong, but I think he is able to compete them.”

Neymar stayed in Brazilian domestic football longer than many expected, completing five seasons with Santos before a record-breaking move to Spain in the summer of 2013.

Falcao was among a host of critics suggesting that his decision to remain in Brazil was a mistake, but the former midfielder accepts it was a personal decision.

“I thought [he should have left] earlier, and I said so at the time,” Falcao continued.
“I thought he had to leave so he could experience a different type of defensive marking by playing in international competitions.

“This is my personal assessment, but I also said that I saw Neymar so happy here. In interviews he was so filled with joy… So I guess he had to be happy, and I think staying made him happy.”
