In a recent talk with the media, the former Brazilian and Real Madrid left-back shared his opinion on who he believes to be the best player in the world. The 42-year old has a slightly different opinion than most of the people out there and instead of narrowing his choice into either Barcelona's Lionel Messi or Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, he extended his options by picking his countryman Neymar as the ...

Barcelona were 2-1 victors over Atletico Madrid on Saturday night, as they fought back from Atletico’s 51st minute opener at the Vicente Calderon stadium. Lionel Messi welcomed the birth of his second child last week and as a result of that, he was forced to miss a day of training. Due to that, Barça boss Luis Enrique decided to put the Argentine on the bench – but as he does in almost every game he’s invol ...

Only three La Liga football teams have managed to win the league title, and this year the predictions are the same with Barcelona being the biggest contender and favourite for the title. It is very unlikely that there will be any surprises. Even the odds show that Barcelona will most likely defend the title priced at 4/6. Barcelona has a killer team at the moment and the world’s most potent attack consisted ...

In September of 2014, Neymar da Silva Santos Junior became the captain of the Brazilian national team at only 22 years old. His promotion to the captaincy at such an early age should not have come as a surprise, and it thrilled his fans - of which he has plenty, being named the “most marketable athlete” by SportsPro in 2012 and 2013. He is the fourth most popular football player on social media, behind Davi ...

It's usually the other way around, but sometimes, talented players like Neymar can also lose their cool and end up being sent off from the field. It happened against Colombia just a few days ago, but it's actually been the 6th time Neymar has seen the red card in a football match. Let's go back in time and go through all the incidents: #1: Santos 3-4 Palmeiras (March 14 of 2010) The first time Neymar got se ...

Neymar has been sensational for Barcelona throughout the 2014-15 season, scoring 39 goals and assisting seven. The Brazil international – who will feature for his country in this summer’s Copa America competition – has developed an incredible relationship with fellow Barça forwards Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, as the Spanish giants claimed the treble. Once labelled as ‘selfish’, Neymar’s teamwork has come ...

The wait is finally over, as Barcelona and Juventus are about to take center stage in Berlin and fight for the UEFA Champions League 2014-15 title. Both teams are chasing the much-wanted treble this season, after having dominated all their competition domestically, with Barça clinching La Liga and Copa del Rey titles last month and Juventus wrapping up another Serie A and Coppa de Italia trophies a few week ...

Just a few weeks from the end of the football season in both Spain and in Europe, PokerStars has announced that they have signed Neymar to become their brand's new ambassador. The largest online poker cardroom in the world will now count with Neymar's efforts to help them attracting new players to their website and they couldn't have picked a better moment than this. The 23-year old has just become Spanish ...

Having been the most wanted footballer on the planet for a number of years, Neymar was always going to be following in illustrious footsteps wherever he ended up in Europe. He was, however, well versed in treading such a path having graduated through the youth ranks at Santos – drawing obvious comparisons with the legend that is Pele. Taking the decision to link up with Barcelona was a bold one, but an admi ...

The two Spanish giants are set to collide in the Camp Nou this Sunday night and with a lot more at stake than the typical 3 points from a league game. While Barça is currently going through a hot streak, having won 17 of their last 18 games in all competitions (their only loss came at the hands of Malaga, on February 21), Real Madrid have only won a single game in their last 4 fixtures. If we extend the sco ...
