‘Neymar is the best’… Football star claims the Brazilian is technically better than anyone else he’s played with

EXCLUSIVE: Neymar is undoubtedly one of the best players of the modern era.

Now, one of his former teammates has opened up about his experience with the Brazilian.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on playing with Neymar

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Neymar linked up beautifully at PSG, with the pair of natural-born goal scorers leaving defenders shivering with fear every single time they set foot on the pitch.

Notably, the Cameroonian bagged a late winner against Atalanta in the Champions League, which prompted his teammate to amusingly invade his post-match interview.

Now, Choupo-Moting, who’s playing for New York Red Bulls in the MLS, has reflected on his time on the pitch with the superstar.

Looking back on that magnificent night, the 36-year-old enthused: “I remember that game, and I think the whole of Paris will never forget that game — it was a special moment for me. It showed that we had a great atmosphere in the team, and we’d had a great season. We didn’t win the final, but we made it to the final. This game was special for me, and it was a world-class performance from Neymar — it was crazy how good he played. We won this game in a late thriller because there were two goals in the last five minutes from our side.

“Neymar is a great guy, and one of the best footballers in the world. He might be the best technical player I ever played with. We speak from time to time, I follow him, and he follows me here in New York. He’s a great guy, and hopefully I’ll see him with the Brazilian team when they come to New York.”

While Choupo-Moting and Neymar played brilliantly together at PSG, it initially came as a shock when the German-born star left Stoke for the Parc des Princes.

In a dramatic deadline day move, the forward managed to bag himself a shot in Ligue 1.

During his exclusive interview with Sporf, Choupo-Moting revealed the truth behind his transfer to PSG.
