#1 Neymar Jr.
Neymar is a special mention on this list. He played most of his games, this season centrally, which would make him invalid for a “nomination” in this position. However, as the Brazilian played the majority of games in his career on the left side, he deserves his spot on the list.
At only 27 years, Neymar contributed to 361 goals directly, scoring 223 of them, He is on a great way to be directly involved to more than one goal a game.
The PSG star is the third best scorer of the Brazil national team’s history, only behind Ronaldo and Pele. Being 56 times on the scoresheet, he falls only short 21 more times, before he can overtake the legendary Pele.
Neymar may be the most skillful player in today’s game, combining that with his great efficiency, he is a very special player.
The ex-Barca attacker is able to do it all: Score a great goal, dribble past multiple opponents or play a deadly pass, all in one game. He can be found everywhere on the pitch, but still, be able to find himself in dangerous positions.
In this season, he scored 13 goals and made furthermore six assists in only 13 games, which is an unbelievable amount.
Six contributions in five games are also a very good number in the Champions League. Very sad is, that in this season he missed 17 games due to an ankle injury, if that would not be the case, his number could have definitely been more immense
