2. Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior ( Paris Saint-Germain, 26)
Neymar, who became the most expensive player in history when he left Barcelona to join PSG, is the obvious answer given when asked who is the best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo. The Brazilian has been named as the third best player in the world twice, in 2015 and 2017.

The real reason why Neymar left Barca for PSG was to step away from Messi's shadow as he believes it is time to stand alone. He wanted to be the focal point of the team rather than adapting to others around him.
With Mbappé by his side, he will fancy his chances of lifting the Champions League title with PSG for the first time. He has learned from the best at Barca and now it is his time to shine. It may have not been a smooth first season as PSG exited in the Round of 16 and Neymar suffered serious injury problems. But this season Neymar looks rejuvenated and hungry for success.
