World Cup 2018: Top 10 players who could win the Golden Ball

#4 Neymar

Croatia v Brazil - International Friendly — Brazil's superstar

When you speak of statistical beasts, Neymar is one of them. Ever since his €222 million move to Paris Saint-Germain, the former Barcelona man has found it far too easy in the French League.

I mean, just look at his numbers. In 20 league games, he scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists while also scoring 6 goals and making 3 assists from 7 Champions League games.

Football was just too easy for the Brazilian this season, wasn’t it? And if he carries on this form at the World Cup, not only does he win the Golden Ball but also lifts the World Cup.
