Neymar enjoyed playing with Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain, but he knows that the World Cup winner is still a long way from being as good as Lionel Messi.
The Frenchman has impressed in the Champions League this season, most notably at the Camp Nou where he effectively knocked Barcelona out of the competition.
"There's no comparison," Neymar said when asked to compare the two. "They have two very different styles of play.
"Messi is the best player I've seen, and Kylian is on his way to becoming one of the best."
Neymar, admitting he wishes he was as fast as Mbappe, had a lot of praise for his teammate. The Brazilian was asked for his thoughts on Mbappe having said that he can be hard to play with because of the speed at which he thinks.
"It's the same for all high-level players," Neymar said. "If you're not careful, you risk losing them in a fraction of a second.
"Kylian is very fast, so I have to be focused and attentive to him all the time. But it was the same with [Andres] Iniesta, Messi or [Luis] Suarez.
"I owe a lot of my happiness at PSG to Mbappe. He's helped me to learn about the French way of life, he has explained the French mentality to me. I owe a lot of my adaptation to him."

Maybe I'm crazy but the way I see it ...Neymar is better than Messi and Ronaldo 🔥 he's Soo magical around the ball ...can do everything with the ball just one thing is missing from him ... SCORING if he becomes a goal scorer he'll be 3X better than Messi and Ronaldo ....isn't it??

Ronaldo is a machine.... Mbappe is sensational, Halaand is exciting but you can never compare them with Messi....He is something else....playing with a mediocre team like Barcelona in recent years and yet he delivered some outstanding performances every week in and week out....scoring 30+ goals and giving 20+ assist in same season is not a cup of tea for anyone....Imagine a player winning 6 Ballon d or, 6 golden Boot & 4 Best Play maker award....this man is just beyond imagination....Cristiano can score goals like machine even in 36 yrs of age....but still messi is just 35 goals behind him despite playing 140+ less matches.....you can troll him for the recent diaster in UCL but the fact is that without messi this barca team can not even qualify for UCL spot....

Hahahaha.... I always laugh when people talk about the maggot Messi. For Messi to excell he needed to be engineered in a lab with all sorts of enhancing drugs. But on the contrary CR7 a pure human still manage to snatch balon d'ors before the frankenstein Messi..... And those who knew the project of Messi lab story, they made sure he was protected in the field, around 2011 to 2018 if you touched Messi trying to mark him, the Ref will call for a foul. But ever since sap blatter left things changed.... Heheheheh CR7 showed his worth and did his things. They even took what was CR7s and gave it to modric because CR7 was running away with balon d'ors. It took a genius to know that if they denied CR7 that balon d'or it will be difficult for him to get the 6th one because of his age and agility. But gave the maggot Messi the balon d'or that the whole world knew it belonged to van dijk also knowing it will be difficult for the frankenstein (Messi) to get it going forward.. Unless he is taken back to the lab and dose him again to match the mbappes and haalands.. But soon it will fail..
