PSG midfielder João Neves has sparked debate by omitting teammate Cristiano Ronaldo from his list of top players across various leagues and the Portugal national team.
Paris Saint-Germain star João Neves has caused a stir after naming his top players across global leagues in a recent interview with MVPs.
Notably, Neves snubbed national teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, selecting João Félix for the Saudi Pro League and boldly naming himself as the best player for Portugal.
The omission is significant as both players prepare for this summer’s FIFA World Cup.
Despite Ronaldo’s impressive form at 41, Neves’ choices reflect the young midfielder’s immense self-belief following a Champions League-winning season with PSG.
While Ronaldo remains an influential figure for the Seleção, Neves’ confidence highlights a shifting dynamic within the squad.
Portugal enters the upcoming tournament as a top contender, requiring both stars to maintain professional cohesion to secure their first world title.
