Buffon: Neymar Deserved More Recognition
Legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has heaped praise on Neymar, suggesting that the Brazilian star should have won multiple Ballon d’Or awards.
In a recent interview, Buffon named Neymar as one of the greatest players he’s faced, stating, “For the player he is and the person he is, he should have won five Ballon d’Ors.”
Despite his immense talent and skill, Neymar has often been overshadowed by the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Buffon believes that the Brazilian’s impact on the game has been underestimated.
Neymar currently plays for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, having previously starred for Santos, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain. During his time at Barcelona, he formed a formidable attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, known as the MSN.
