This year's Ballon d'Or has been decided, and after 13 years of lurking at Real Madrid, the 34-year-old Benzema has finally got his wish this time. I believe that Neymar will have a great feeling in his heart. After the era of Messi and Ronaldo dominating European football has passed, it is estimated that more and more players will join the Hall of Fame of the Ballon d'Or in recent years, and the Brazilian superstar is very much looking forward to becoming one of them, so that there will be no regrets in his career.
The 30-year-old is well aware that with the rapid rise of young players like Mbappe and Haaland, there is not much time left for him. With the arrival of the World Cup in Qatar, this season may be the best chance for the Brazilian superstar to win the Ballon d'Or, especially since Neymar is in excellent form, while Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazilian national team are very strong and can provide a platform to win the title.
As long as Neymar led Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League and helped the Brazilian national team win the World Cup in Qatar, no other player will be eligible to compete for the Ballon d'Or. Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the new season is extremely strong, and the club's top brass still spend more than 130 million euros to bring in players such as Ferreira and Mendes with superstars such as Messi, Mbappe and Neymar.
If you compare the strength of the squad, there are few teams in the whole of European football that can compare with Paris Saint-Germain. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are no problems in the dressing room of Greater Paris, the possibility of winning the Champions League is still very high, knowing that the only teams eligible to compete are Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern, and as for the domestic title, Neymar may never have worried about losing.
More importantly, Neymar has far surpassed Mbappe so far in the new season, and the statistics are also slightly better, the Brazilian superstar has scored 12 goals, in addition to 10 assists, while Mbappe has only 12 goals, plus 1 assist, so as long as Paris Saint-Germain wins the Champions League, Neymar will beat the French superstar to become the biggest beneficiary, of course, this may not be enough, the Brazilian superstar is eyeing the World Cup.
Today's Brazilian team is full of talent, and Neymar is also relieved after Rishalison confirmed that he can catch the World Cup in Qatar. With Neymar, Richarisson, Vinicius, Rafinha and Rodrigo in the attacking line, Casemiro, Paqueta, Fred and Fabinho in midfield, and Marquinho, Danilo, Militang and Silva at the back, Brazil are the favourites.
Originally, France would be a strong opponent for Brazil, but with Pogba and N'Golo Kante missing the Qatar World Cup due to injury, France's competitiveness has undoubtedly plummeted, and it may be difficult to match the star-studded Brazil. It is no exaggeration to say that the possibility of Brazil winning the World Cup in Qatar is very high, Neymar will not miss this golden opportunity, once he has the Champions League and the World Cup title in hand, Neymar will definitely win his first Ballon d'Or, let's wait and see.
