Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo might have been club rivals for a couple of seasons, but the two stars have always shared a relationship based on mutual respect. Their names have never been linked with controversy and the two have hardly ever taken digs at each other.

During The Best event organized by FIFA, to crown the number one player in the world in 2017, Neymar stated that Cristiano Ronaldo deserved to be the winner. Moments later, the Brazilian approached the Portuguese, right after he was crowned, and asked him for a selfie. It was a moment that certainly stole the attention of the worldwide press. It was a moment that highlighted the Brazilian's admiration for Cristiano.

Neymar could be tempted by the idea to team-up with Ronaldo in the latter's final few seasons at the club, in order to learn from a player who has been crowned the best in the world on five different occasions. He may also decide to be the Portuguese's successor the moment he leaves.

Ronaldo is almost 33 years old, and it won't be too long before he steps down from the scene. Replacing this legendary player is certainly easier said than done, but if any player can come close to filling his boots, it is Neymar Jr.
