The former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder believes the Brazilian’s masterclass in Barca’s remarkable 6-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16 has confirmed that the 25-year-old is destined to overtake his two rivals.‘It’s been clear ever since he signed for Brazilian team Santos at 17 that Neymar is an outstanding talent, a once-in-a-generation type of footballer who has fans on their feet whenever he gets the ball,’ Beckham wrote in Time Magazine.
‘I’ve always been struck by his humility. He’s respectful and wants to learn, which he proved when he arrived at Barcelona in 2013 to play alongside some of the game’s biggest stars.
‘I suspect the recent Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain, when Neymar helped his team to an unforgettable 6-1 win, will be remembered as the moment he stepped up to take on the mantle of best player in the world.
‘Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have a new rival to that claim – and Neymar is ready to make his move.’
