At the beginning of his career, forward Neymar demonstrated excellent results at the "Santos" club.

At that time, the sniper, who was considered one of the most promising players on the planet, was "scoring" goals and had caught the attention of the most powerful teams in the world.

The competitive battle that took place was won by "Barcelona," which enlisted the help of its star Lionel Messi.

As the publication "Sport" recalls, the Argentine did not hold back on extremely enticing promises during their conversation.

"What do you want? Perhaps you wish to win the 'Ballon d'Or'? I will help you achieve this dream," Messi had said.

However, from 2013 to 2017, Neymar, who played for the "Barça" club, left empty-handed. He has not won the prestigious trophy to this day.
