As far as skill go, I would genuinely rank Neymar above both Ronaldo and Messi

If you don’t believe me, just go and watch Neymar’s highlights. He’s heavily underrated, imo.
I'm pretty sure that he's a human, not a goat

You know what?

Ight, Ronaldinho is better than all of them at skill. But Neymar, in my opinion, is better than both Messi and Ronaldo at skill.

well for starters you got balon dors (even tho sometimes they are rigged), goal contributions, titles won, if the goals scored are actually good and not just like pens for example, also the league u play lowkey has an effect

plus it's fairly obvious when a player is great for example right now it's obvious that mo salah is the best player in the world no question just like how it was obvious that in 2015 messi was the best for example

I’d agree with ballon D’or, and stuff. But I feel like we all have definitions of what makes someone great.

So you would rank Neymar as great when it comes to skill?

Ye when it comes to flair sure

But I don't think he even ranks among the top 10 ever maybe not even 20 maybe not even 30 I'd have to actually think about it and listthe players above him

Christiano is a remarkable fascination and phenomenon by his own. 36 years and still world class, I respect his performance season by season.

The other Ronaldo was at the same level with Christiano at his prime.

And no one doubts, me included, that another footballer will ever break his records, not even Messi.

If that goes on with him at this level, he won't retire before the age at 40.
