Neves reignites controversy over Ronaldo.

PSG midfielder Joao Neves' assessment of his senior teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is attracting significant media attention.

In a recent interview, Neves was asked to name the most outstanding players in various leagues. When it came to the Saudi Pro League, Neves didn't choose Ronaldo, who is currently the leading player at Al Nassr, but surprisingly named Joao Felix as the best player. He even praised Felix with the phrase "magician".

Later, when asked about the best player in the Portuguese national team, Neves again overlooked CR7 and chose himself. He explained that he had already named many other Portuguese players in top European leagues, so he wanted to make a different choice.

Neves' choices were controversial.

Although these were just personal choices, Neves still sparked controversy on social media because of his statements. One account wrote: "Ronaldo is old but still a legend of Portuguese football." Another fan wrote: "Neves really doesn't appreciate Ronaldo, does he?" Another commented: "When Ronaldo was still shining brightly in Europe, Neves was still in elementary school."

In other news, Neves didn't hesitate to acknowledge Lionel Messi, calling the Argentine superstar the best player in Major League Soccer (MLS).

Neves, 21, is one of the most outstanding young talents in Portuguese football today. He has had the opportunity to play alongside both Ronaldo and Felix in the national team since October 2023.

Ronaldo continued his scoring spree on Al-Nassr's resounding victory. His 966th career goal once again demonstrated that Cristiano Ronaldo remains a rare goal-scoring machine in world football.
