Brazilian striker Neymar has said that he is the "world's best player," given that Argentina's Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo are "from another planet."

"Modesty aside, I think that I am the world's best player," Neymar quipped in an exchange with the hosts of Desimpedidos, a Brazilian YouTube channel. "Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are from another planet, so I'm No. 1." More seriously, he said on Friday that his focus was not on individual glory, but on leading Brazil to victory in the World Cup in Russia, Efe reported.
