Neymar has been better than Messi and Ronaldo this season

Paris Saint-Germain splashed €222 million to bring Selecao sensation Neymar to the French capital. In return, he has justified his price not just by scoring goals, but also by being one of the best playmakers currently active in football.

Neymar has produced a mammoth 62 chances and recorded 9 assists in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League, this season, while functioning as a left forward or a left attacking midfielder as per requirements.

He boasts an average of 3.6 key passes per game, which is the best and same as that of Mesut Ozil. He is currently leading the UEFA Champions League assists chart with four assists.

The 25-year-old is regarded as the best player after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the moment, and has widely been touted as the man to break their duopoly at winning the Ballon d'Or for the last nine years.

Looking downright unstoppable at the moment, it won't take too long for Neymar to win the most coveted crown in the sport.
