Ballon d’Or 2021: Neymar fell in several places within the France Football ranking

A different and surprising score for the Brazilian. The 2021 Ballon d’Or is organized on November 29 and the positions of the best players have been presented, one of which always stands out on the list is the PSG player, Neymar. The striking thing was that the former Barcelona did not get his best numbers this year and they ended up placing him in position 16 in the ranking.

For many soccer lovers, the designated place for the Brazilian is not the correct one, as they expected to see him much higher up. Of course, he was not the favorite for the first place, although different media had thrown forecasts that, due to his good level in the Brazilian National Team and Paris Saint-Germain, he would be among the top ten places.

“Ranked in 16th place for the 2021 Ballon d’Or, Neymar, from PSG”, It is read in the message that the popular magazine published in the first paragraph, where its distinction is reported. The message did not take long to go viral with complaints and memes from the fans.

To be exact, Neymar is ahead of Mason Mount (19th), Simon Kjaer (18th) and Luis Suárez (17th). On this occasion, he took a place after Raheem Sterling, who is also on the list but in position number 15. As we well know, the Brazilian currently suffers from a sprained ankle, which will keep him away from the fields of game in the remainder of 2021.

Men’s Golden Ball

In the anteroom, Leo Messi starts as the top favorite to lift the trophy. The Argentine won the Copa América with Argentina, the Copa del Rey with Barcelona and was a scorer in LaLiga de España. Those achievements put him at the head of the race to win the seventh Ballon d’Or in his career.
