Leeds United Chat • Neymar-Where does he belong in football folklore?

Doesn't seem that long ago since Barcelona signed a Brazilian player not long out of his teens to much fanfare and excitement

But it's almost 10 years and that young player turns 31 in February.

In the years since Neymar has done some incredible things.

Won nearly 20 trophies at club level, multiple time Champions League team of the season member, shared a Champions League golden boot with Messi and Ronaldo and has recently tied Pele as joint Brazilian top international goalscorer.

Has over 300 goals and 200 career assists.

And is of course the most expensive footballer of all time.

And yet some say he never reached his full potential.

Is that the case?

Should he have achieved more?

Or is he a victim of growing up in the Messi/Ronaldo era and thus been overshadowed?
