Neymar already competing with Ronaldo & Messi, says Roberto Carlos

Thegoalmac has learned that former Brazil international Roberto Carlos has labelled current captain Neymar a "phenomenon", insisting he is now competing with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best in the world.

For me, I doubt he is up there with them yet,I think he will with time if he can keep improving, but right now he is not just at their level yet. My opinion though, what do you think? Continue to see what legend Carlos said.


Neymar is a phenomenon," Roberto Carlos told Perform.

“He adapted to European football very quickly. He turned in some great performances with Barca and the Selecao.
.
“The thing is Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are getting better every day. Neymar is trying to reach their level but every time he comes close they just get better.

"So in my opinion the three best players in the world this season were Cristiano, Messi and Neymar."

Neymar has now hit 42 goals in 60 appearances for Brazil, placing him fifth in the Selecao’s list of all-time top goalscorers.
