5 most trending footballers of 2014

#3 Neymar

The 22-year-old Brazilian scored 41 goals for his club Barcelona in 15 matches across all competitions in the 2013-14 season and was one of Brazil’s star attractions when they hosted the FIFA World Cup earlier this year. He scored a brace in his country’s opening match against Croatia and scored yet another brace in Brazil’s 4-1 win over Cameroon in the group stage of the tournament.

However, he wasn’t part of the team that was thrashed by Germany 7-1 in the semi-finals due to an injury that he suffered during his country’s quarter-final win over Colombia and had to remain content with the Bronze Boot for scoring the third most number of goals in the tournament. He was, however, named in the World Cup All Star XI and was also among the 10-nominees for FIFA Golden Ball award for the best player in the tournament.
