#4 Neymar
Trending
Everyone knew Neymar would be special, but his rise to prominence has been outstanding when one consider the competition he has in his own Barcelona team, let alone across the rest of La Liga and Europe. Some big goals and huge assists have shown everyone that when the going gets tough, Neymar gets going; with an incredible bunch of statistics to make his season look even more impressive.
14 goals across La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey is a good record, but where the Brazilian stands out is in the assists column, where he’s helped the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez a total of 21 times.

The 25-year-old has matured this season, and has grown into a match winner at Barcelona. Take the recent Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, where Neymar singlehandedly won the game for Barcelona and dragged them out of a rut following the Edinson Cavani away goal that looked set to kill the tie.
His free kick and dinked ball into the box for the winner was what won Barcelona the game, and he showed leadership in tight situations, an incredible trait to have at such a young age.
He looks like a proper footballer now and has added that extra bit of mental steel to take him to the next level, and can easily break out from the rest of the MSN and join Lionel Messi on a different level from the rest of the footballing world.
