Lionel Messi is generally considered the best football player of all time. The Argentinian is unstoppable with the ball at his lightning quick feet. Time and time again, he has proved himself as the best player ever to grace the Barcelona shirt.

What he has been doing on the field in all these years is pure magic. 'A miracle from God' 'The little Argentinian beast' 'The Mozart of soccer' is what comes out of people's mouth in delight every time they watch him play.

The Barcelona star has been a one-club-man having won four Champions League title, nine La Liga title and six domestic cups with the club. He has won a record-tying five Ballon d'Or and a record five Golden boot. He has netted an unreal 656 goals and bagged 270 assists for club and country.

Unfortunately, Neymar has peaked during a loaded generation and could have been the best player in the world if he was not born in the same era as Messi and Ronaldo. The winger is one of the most technically gifted players in the world whose attacking prowess is compared to the likes of Brazilian legend Ronaldo. He is a wizard with the ball who makes stumbling defenders look foolish with regularity.

The Brazilian played four stellar seasons with Barcelona before his move to Paris Saint Germain which made him the world's most expensive player. At the Blaugrana, he was an attacking force in the world's deadliest trio alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, which helped the club win the glorious treble in 2015.

At the young age of 27, Neymar is Brazil's third highest goalscorer of all time with 60 goals in 96 appearances which makes it clear that he may soon surpass his idol Pele who is topping the list with 77 goals as the nation's highest goalscorer of all time.
