Robinho gives his verdict on whether Neymar can surpass Lionel Messi | OneFootball

Can Neymar surpass Lionel Messi to become the greatest player in the world?

It’s a question posed many times in the last year since the Brazilian’s move to PSG and lots of people have given their answer.

This week, it was the turn of his compatriot Robinho who believes Neymar has the ‘most potential’ to one day be better than his former Barcelona team-mate.

Both starting out at Santos before sealing big moves to LaLiga, Robinho and Neymar have been international team-mates and are good friends.

Speaking to FourFourTwo, the former Real Madrid and Manchester City forward said: “Our relationship is great, we get along really well. As a fellow Brazilian, I always hope he can achieve more day after day,”

“He’s the one among us that has the most potential to be the best in the world – he carries the No.10 of the national team.

“But we all know that it is not easy to beat Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – they’re both at such a high level, scoring 60-70 goals per season.”
