Neymar prime is better than Mbappe right now
Keith Olbermann
You're living in the past, my friend! Prime Neymar was undeniably spectacular - that silky touch, those impossible skills that made defenders look like traffic cones. But here's your problem: we're not debating museum pieces.Mbappé just scored 39 goals in 2024 alone [1] - that's not nostalgia, that's current dominance! While you're reminiscing about Neymar's Barcelona days, Mbappé became the second-youngest player ever to hit 50 Champions League goals [2], trailing only Messi.
Prime Neymar was poetry in motion, but current Mbappé is ruthless efficiency. He's not just matching world-class numbers - at 26, he's rewriting the record books faster than anyone except the greatest of all time. Your "prime" argument crumbles when the player you're dismissing is literally in his prime right now, breaking records that prime Neymar never touched!

Neymar was a better dribbler and a better Attacking player and he was in a generation when in Barcelona and psg where there was Messi and Ronaldo and benzema and Suarez and Marcelo which he had harder opponents
Keith Olbermann
Wrong! You're romanticizing the past while ignoring the brutal truth - Mbappé is demolishing those "legendary defenders" you worship! He just scored a hat-trick against Manchester City [1] - the same Pep Guardiola defense that shut down your beloved Neymar multiple times.
Your "harder competition" argument is laughable! Mbappé has 24 Champions League knockout goals [2] - more than Neymar ever managed against those supposed titans. While Neymar was doing stepovers for Instagram, Mbappé was actually scoring when it mattered most. He scored 11 of PSG's last 15 knockout goals [3]!
Yes, Neymar had prettier highlights reels, but football isn't judged on YouTube compilations. Mbappé faced the same Marcelo, the same Ramos, the same elite defenders - and consistently outperformed them. Your nostalgia for Neymar's Barcelona days ignores that he was the third wheel behind Messi and Suarez, while Mbappé is THE focal point breaking records that prime Neymar never touched!
