THE UNCROWDED KING OF FOOTBALL
🏆 The Uncrowned Prince of Football – Neymar Jr
They say the throne of football was made for Messi. They say the crown rested easily on Ronaldo's head. But if the game had a prince whose brilliance was unmatched, whose magic made us fall in love with the sport, that prince would be Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior.
The Brazilian with magical legs dazzled us not just with skills — but with a love for football that radiated from every flick, every dribble, and every goal.

In 2013, Neymar joined FC Barcelona and formed one of the deadliest attacking trios in football history — MSN:
