FORMER Brazil captain and World Cup winner Cafu says Neymar is better than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Neymar, 24, got an assist in Barcelona’s 2-0 win over Arsenal on Tuesday night as he continues his fine run of form.
The former Santos star finished third in
the Ballon d’Or behind Real Madrid star Ronaldo and record five-time winner Messi.
But Cafu — who made over 400 appearances in his club career including stints at Roma and Inter Milan — believes his fellow countryman Neymar is technically superior to his fellow Ballon d’Or finalists.
Cafu, 45, said: “Looking at his technical skills, I would say Neymar is stronger than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo right now.”
Neymar played a pivotel role in the Catalan clubs treble last season that included scoring in the Champions League final, clinching La Liga and lifting the Copa del Rey.
But Neymar’s fortunes with his club have not been mirrored with his national team Brazil.
