Almost like a modern day Ronaldinho, Neymar built a reputation in Europe through his skill compilations on YouTube. A lot of people knew about the talent of Neymar for Santos, but the majority of football fans on the continent hadn’t seen anything of him except for his skills.

It’s usually a safe bet to look at these skill compilations with a pinch of salt as anyone with technical ability could pull off skills, but Neymar showed that he used his brain and was more than just a trickster.

When he joined Barcelona, many people who hadn’t seen him regularly were sceptical. Joey Barton even compared him to Justin Bieber saying he was “class on YouTube, but cat p*ss in real life”.

If Ronaldinho was the definitive YouTube footballer that actually lived up to any hype, Neymar is the modern day version.
