After spending the majority of last season on the sidelines, Neymar has returned from injury with a bang, scoring 15 goals and assisting 10 in just 18 appearances this campaign to put him back in the Ballon d'Or conversation. The PSG man could go onto win the Champions League for the second time in his career this season with a PSG side that is full of attacking talent. And a Champions League win would put Neymar and some of his PSG teammates in contention for the Ballon d'Or award.

However, one thing that stands between Neymar and the famous golden ball is the league that he plays in with many naming Ligue 1 as the easiest league in the world after years of PSG dominance. This could see Neymar move back to Spain and potentially back to Barcelona. The aim will be simple - win trophies alongside an aging but still sharp Lionel Messi, and finally win the coveted Ballon d'Or.
