#4 Neymar would end up at Real Madrid
It is quite unusual for the crown jewels of a Brazil and Argentina team to be such close friends – but Messi and Neymar are currently rewriting history. The story of the MSN trio's friendship off the pitch has become common knowledge now – and was given great hype when they were enjoying astounding success in 2014-15.
With Ronaldo and Messi already part of the squad, however, in our alternate world, Barcelona would not have been in the market for Neymar – both due to wage bill restraints and due to similarities in playing positions.
Naturally, he would go to Real Madrid then – and we would have the captain of the Brazilian and Argentinian national teams going all out against each other in the Spanish El Clasico.
Their rivalry both at the domestic and international level would have been a matter of legend – and a treat for both South American and European Media.
