If the words of Brazilian great Pele are anything to go by, then Barcelona star Neymar is technically superior to Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar till date has remained in the shadows of four-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo and Barca rival Lionel Messi both of whom have dominated World football honours.

As far as Pele is concerned, Neymar is the heir to the throne of Ronaldo and Messi – a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or – but then the 24-year-old still has to improve his heading ability in order to surpass Madrid’s all-time leading goalscorer.

“The only problem that Neymar has is the header. Cristiano Ronaldo is not better than him,” Pele – a winner of three World Cups – told Brazilian outlet UOL.

“Technically, Neymar is way better, but he [Ronaldo] is better when using the head.

he is talking about his potentials.


btw, neymar is so cute.

Mi Papi Neymar Jr is still young.. Soon he'll dominate the world of football right before our eyes.. He still have enough time to prove himself..

You mean Neymar Jr? That playful guy...The guy that cannot single handedly win a match for Barcelona without Messi and Suarez.And you called that an heir to the throne.He keeps getting the normination for the Ballon d'Or because of the team he play for and the people he play with...I can see Gabriel Jesus of Manchester City and Renato Sanchez of Portugal playing for Beryern Munich(If he can come to one of the big club in England or Spain and increase his scoring ability) being an heir to the throne of CR 7 and Messi. Gracia!
