€222 million is a massive, massive price tag to have hanging around your neck. When someone plumps that kind of moolah for you, they hold you to certain expectations - and not everyone can hold up to that kind of pressure.

Neymar Jr., though, isn't like anyone else, is he?

He landed in Ligue 1 and has taken to it like a fish to water, his performances in the Champions League (hello, Bayern Munich) vindicating the fact that his performances are incredible and it's not just down to the perceived lower standards of defending in France.

He may have an issue or two running with Edi Cavani - but the two seem to get along just fine when the ball's in open play... some of their, and Kylian Mbappe's, combination play taking the breath away - such is their speed of thought and movement.

Neymar's been integral to all this which is why while he may not have more goals than most on this list, he does have the most assists, and by a distance... at 7. Already.

He is truly a complete player.
