Neymar: Yamal is definitely the best player in the world

Neymar spoke openly about the Ballon d'Or winner and considered his friend Lamine Yamal the best player in the world.

This year we witnessed a strange thing: the main candidates for the Ballon d'Or each in several interviews considered themselves worthy of the award and said that they consider the Ballon d'Or their right. Yamal was one of these candidates who perhaps spoke more and faster than the others. Yamal said several times that the Golden Ball should go to someone who plays football beautifully and entertains people, not someone who scores goals and wins trophies.

Today, Yamal found a big and well-known sponsor. One of the beloved legends of the football world, who is Yamal's friend, supported him. Neymar published a picture of the young Barca star today and said that he is without a doubt the best current footballer in the whole world.

The current star of the Santos club republished a comparison image of ScoreNode and SofaScore on Khodes account. In this picture, two historical seasons of these two players were facing each other. In this comparison, Neymar's brilliant statistics in the 2017-2018 season with Paris Saint-Germain, who managed to score 25 goals and provide 16 assists in 27 games, are placed next to Yamal's brilliant start in the current season. The Barcelona phenomenon has managed to score 8 goals and 9 assists in the first 10 games. Relying on this wonderful performance, Neymar wrote in his message: "Lamine Yamal is the best player in the world."

This decisive statement is made in a situation where Lamine Yamal has a high chance to win the Ballon d'Or, although his main rivals Mbappe and Harry Kane also have a significant chance. The Ballon d'Or ceremony will be held on October 25th in London.

Neymar and Yamal have a very close and friendly relationship. You must remember the photos of their joint vacation in Brazil in 2025.
