#4 Neymar (PSG)

Paris Saint-Germain v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League
Neymar failed to inspire PSG in the Champions league this season

There was only one thing on Neymar's mind following his mega-million move to Paris Saint-Germain and that was to win the Balon D'or by leading them to victory in the UEFA Champions League.

But the Brazilian sustained a nasty ankle injury after the first leg of their round-of-16 tie against Madrid and PSG were knocked out from the competition. However he faced a fair share of criticism after a match against Bayern Munich in the group stages.

He received the ball in the inside-left channel and tried to dodge past some Bayern players. Arturo Vidal attempted a sliding tackle in the process and Neymar decided to a make a meal out of it and executed a theatrical fall to perfection although there was no contact from the Chilean

The referee was right on the scene and gave Neymar a worthy booking for the same.
