Sao Paulo forward, Luis Fabiano, believes that Santos forward, Neymar, is already a ‘much better’ player than Real Madrid ace, Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Fabiano claims that Neymar must ply his trade in Europe in order to surpass Barcelona’s Lionel Messi as the best player in the world.
‘’I think because he is not playing in Europe, I can’t see him challenging Messi but without a doubt he is already much better than Ronaldo,’’ the former Sevilla striker told SporTV.
‘’Not yet Messi, I admire him a lot and I have seen him play.’’
Fabiano watched Neymar net a hat-trick against São Paulo on Sunday, as the Tricolor suffered a 3-1 defeat from Santos in the semi-finals of the Paulista state championship.
