Neymar Jr is considered the third best player in the world after Ronaldo and Messi.

The 26-year-old Brazilian forward moved away from FC Barcelona in search of new challenges and with a hope to win the Ballon d'Or. However, he only managed to be on the third spot after Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar was heavily being linked with Real Madrid, however, he stayed in the French capital and has started well in the Ligue 1. The Brazilian has scored 7 league goals and provided 2 assists in just 7 appearances for the French giants.

Neymar has to continue his brilliant form in order to finish in the top 3 of the Ballon d'Or 2018. His chances for being chosen as the winner might be thin, but a top 3 spot would satisfy him, at least.

PSG is looking dangerous this season as well. If they perform well in the UCL, Neymar would have a shot at the Ballon d'Or or it seems like he would try to make a move for the Spanish capital next summer.
