Brazilian teenage sensation Rodrygo has described comparisons between him and Neymar as "stupid", insisting that his compatriot is one of a kind. The Santos forward, who turns 18 next month, is expected to move to Real Madrid this summer, a year after the reigning European champions signed him in a deal reportedly worth 45 million euros, reports Xinhua.

"Neymar is Neymar, Rodrygo is Rodrygo. What he did, no one will be able to repeat," the Brazil U-20 international told newspaper O Globo. "People want to compare what we have done but there is no comparison. Neymar is already 26 and has won everything that he has won: the Copa Libertadores, the Olympics, the Champions League. I'm only in my first year as a professional player. It's stupid. I really like Neymar, he is one of my biggest idols, but you can't compare us."
