Casemiro Declares Neymar 'Far the Best' Over Ronaldo
11 Nov
Summary
- Casemiro says Neymar is 'by far the best' when fully fit
- Casemiro has played with many football greats, including Ronaldo
- Neymar's injury issues have kept him out of Brazil's recent squads
In a recent interview, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has made a bold claim about Neymar's talent, stating that the Brazilian forward is 'by far the best' player he has played with, even surpassing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Casemiro, who has enjoyed a storied 15-year career playing alongside some of the sport's greatest names, including Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid, believes Neymar's abilities are unmatched when he is fully fit and in form. The 33-year-old praised Neymar's incredible ability to decide a game at any moment, saying it is a 'privilege' to have played with him.
However, Neymar's ongoing injury problems have been a concern, with the Paris Saint-Germain star once again missing out on Brazil's November international fixtures due to a ruptured knee ligament injury suffered last year. This has sparked debate over whether the 30-year-old should be included in Brazil's squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Casemiro, who has played 64 times with Neymar for the national team, compared to 122 appearances alongside Ronaldo, believes that when Neymar is physically and mentally fit, he is 'by far the best' among the elite players he has shared the pitch with over the course of his illustrious career.
