The Brazilian has continued with his incredible performances in the French top flight
Another Paris Saint Germain superstar on the list, Brazilian wizard, Neymar Junior is also among the most impressive attacking players in the Ligue 1 at the moment, having returned to the competition with a bang following an abysmal FIFA World Cup outing with his nation in Russia recently.

Neymar moved to the French league during the previous summer in a world-record deal from Barcelona and he needed a very little time to make the division his own, finishing the last campaign with an impressive 19 goals and 13 assists despite suffering a terrible injury during the latter stages of the campaign.
The Brazilian has come out even stronger this term, putting in extraordinary efforts and firing The Parisians in front of goal as they look to defend the Ligue 1 title during the campaign. With 10 goals and 6 assists to his name in 11 appearances, the former Barcelona superstar is definitely one of the most impressive attackers in the French division right now.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
