PSG Star Neymar Describes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo Using One Word

• Neymar has labelled both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as geniuses as the two greats get closer and closer to their retirement
• Neymar had been expected to go toe to toe with the two superstars, but constant injuries prevented him from realising his full potential
• The PSG star also described Real Madrid's forward Karim Benzema as classic

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has used an impeccable one word to describe arch rivals, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar was presented with the names of a couple of players and he was expected to use one word to describe them.

In the interview with DAZN, Neymar used the word 'genius' to describe both Messi and Ronaldo. It is no secret that the two are arguably the best-ever football players.

Neymar was often considered the best player after the duo, but he has failed to reach the staggering heights of the two. At 30 years, the Brazilian is yet to win a Ballon d'Or title. He left Messi's Barcelona in 2017 and moved to PSG in a bid to be the main man, but constant fitness issues have derailed him.

He also described Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane as intelligent, while his former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez also got the genius tag.

Real Madrid's striker and potential Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema was described as classic.

Messi made a high-profile switch to PSG from Barcelona last summer after it became apparent that the Spanish side couldn't renew his contract.

The Argentine, arguably the best player ever, struggled to replicate his astronomical levels at PSG after he scored only a paltry six league goals. He was also unable to prevent PSG from exiting the Champions League at the hands of eventual winners, Real Madrid.
