5 reasons why Neymar will outshine Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League

#2 Brazilian is more skillful

Paris Saint-Germain v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League — Neymar is highly skilled

This might hurt a lot of Cristiano Ronaldo fans. After all, this is a guy who has won 5 Ballon d’Ors and is the holder of the accolade as you read this. What can’t be denied, however, is that he is no longer the player that could dribble past his opponents and create magic.

Apart from goalscoring, the Portuguese doesn’t really have much to his arsenal. His passing sense is poor and his dribbling is even worse.

This is where Neymar exceeds him right now. The former Santos star is not only a good goalscorer, he is also brilliant dribbler and passer of the ball. One can never really forget his assist to Sergi Roberto for Barcelona’s 6th goal against PSG in their 6-1 comeback rout.

In short, Neymar has more to his game than Cristiano Ronaldo—and that alone gives him the edge to do better than him.
