Ex-Villarreal player and key piece for the Spanish national team, Marcos Senna, gave a review of some of the important names in the world of football and left some interesting reflections, such as that he wants Neymar to win the Ballon d'Or, although he continues to put Leo Messi above everyone.

Marcos Senna, the quiet man, experienced a golden era that culminated as a member of the Spanish team that won the first of 2 successive European Championships. Now retired, he shared in declarations collected by 'DAZN' and 'Goal' his points of view about the stars of our time.

The ex-Villarreal man surprised by opting for Neymar. "I will support PSG in this Champions League because for me Neymar is worthy of the Ballon d'Or," Senna said, who added that "he needs more luck with injuries".

However, beyond the connection between Brazilians, he surrendered to the evidence with Leo Messi: "For me, he's the best in the world, individually. There's no one better than him".

The Spanish-Brazilian also referred to an old friend and teammate, now recovered for the cause. "Santi has had some hard years but he has been able to recover even though many people thought he wouldn't do so. Villarreal gave him the opportunity and he took it. He is a Villarreal legend, not only because of what he gives us technically but also because of his great charisma", he said.
