Neymar, who appears more and more likely to leave PSG this summer, admits he found it difficult against the Real Madrid captain

Neymar Junior, whose future appears to lie away from Paris Saint Germain, named Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos as the most difficult opponent he's come up against.

Speaking at the presentation of his Red Bull Neymar Jr's Fives tournament, the Brazilian said: "The best player I've come up against? Sergio Ramos. He's an excellent centre back and he's the best. He even scores goals. It's very difficult to play against him."

Despite Neymar's close relationship with Barça, he had no problem showering praise on another Madrid star. "He's a very young footballer who I think in time will become an incredible player, one of the best in the world and even compete for the Ballon d'Or. He can achieve whatever he wants to," Neymar said about his compatriot and friend Vinicius Jr.
