Before leaving PSG, Neymar chose the best player in the world and it's neither Mbappe nor Haaland

It is not a secret that Lionel Messi's stage at PSG was the most hostile in his career at club level. Although in Barcelona he went through difficult times, the affection of the culés towards the Rosario was never in question due to his status as the institution's maximum idol. In France, on the contrary, he received mistreatment of all kinds and the leaders of the squad such as Kylian Mbappé or Marquinhos never came out to defend him or ask them to stop their bad attitude towards La Pulga in public.

Among the few people who always banked Messi at Paris Saint-Germain are Marco Verratti and Neymar. Precisely the latter was a great friend of his in Barcelona and later, when the captain of the Argentine National Team had to leave the French club, he dedicated a post to him on social networks that moved everyone. Now, during an interview, the Brazilian once again made clear the great love and idolatry that he feels for the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7).

In a recent talk on the CazéTV channel, Ney was asked about the arrival of his next child. More precisely, they asked him what name he was going to give him if he is a man, to which the man who emerged from Santos replied with a laugh: "Messi". Then, when questioned by the driver jokingly, he changed to "Lionel."

What Neymar said about his friendship with Messi

"Messi is one of my best friends. Before I met him, he was my idol, now he is my idol and my friend, I am grateful for that, ”Neymar commented, also in the framework of the interview with the aforementioned channel.
