Already has a better club legacy than Neymar. Would take Vini at Madrid every time over Ney at Barca or QSG. And he is only at the start, while Neymars top flight career ended years ago.

He needs to play like this not only in the big games if he wants to be considered the best. In many games with smaller teams he is not concentrated in the game or starts doing ineffective things, that he considers funny.

Great to finally be able to put a face to the name.

People as usual exagerate beyond belief.
He's not better than prime Neymar FFS. And I'd wager he will never be, because he doesn't have the same talent. And talent you can't buy, train or teach. Sure, he'll have the trophies, but any guy who hasn't started watching football yesterday can tell you he isn't in the same class as Neymar.

Prime Neymar had the talent to get into Brazil 2002 side for example. Vinicius would certainly be benched.

Also, Neymar(when he was healthy and interested in football) had to share the team with two all time greats in Suarez and Messi. Elite teams in CL were powerful.

Vinicius had a Benzema on his last legs and then he found himself as the lead man. Big teams in the last 2-3 seasons are poor to very poor. There was Liverpool for a bit, City and that's about it. The rest are in decline.

He has a real chance to win a Ballon this season, if Mbappe doesn't get the Euro. But Mbappe is on another stratosphere to him.

Vinicius is too inconsistent and wasteful right now. But since football talent has dried up, anything goes.

He is also a nobody at NT level. And that's in a period when competition in the Brazil squad is zero.

Aside from stat padding in qualifiers and friendlies, Neymar hasn't delivered when it mattered most for Brazil. Man has the same number of World Cup goals as freaking Gyan Asamoah.

Vinicius could not reach 15/16 Neymar in 1000 lifetimes.

In general Neymar's club career has started to get underrated a lot. Always delivered G/A's every season. Vinicius is about 3 seasons in to being a 'top' player and even still he's had some poor games even this year despite the sudden narrative he's destined for the Balon D'or.

Don't get me wrong by todays standards he's one of the best but he's not reaching a level others haven't before him.

Neymar's one decision to move to PSG destroyed his career and reputation lol.

Also destroyed us because we ended spending all of that 222m + a lot more on donkeys.

It's a matter of time until he overtakes Neymar imo. No defender can stop him really. Not as spectacular as Neymar and just as big of a prick, but he is gonna last more at the top of the game. Half the ego and no sleazeball as a father also help him.

title wise Vini can easily overtake Ney but playing-wise never, Ney between 2015-2018 will be always one level over Vini
