I'm not saying Neymar is the best player in the world (he is not) but for all the talks like he has regressed and is not important for PSG, those stats clearly show otherwise.
There's hardly a thing out there that would be "the best player on the world".
There are at least half a dozen outstanding players (Neymar is definitely one of them) with exceptional talent and characteristics.
As being the best, people usually name goalscorers, forwards, but there are defenders, midfielders too. One cannot compare Messi to a defender.
But one factor is almost certain, Neymar is the technically most gifted player among that leading figures, you can't even compare Messi to him in that regard.
Messi is seriously one-footed, whereas Neymar is almost equally good with both feet.
Messi is more precise but Neymar is even more creative than Messi is.
If you count forwards only, IMHO there is no doubt its Messi AND Neymar, the other contenders are way behind them.
