The Brazilian, who came third in the 2015 and 2017 edition, believes his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappe, Messi and Ronaldo deserve to be the three finalists.

The PSG star interestingly left himself out of his selections as he predicted his top three for the Ballon d'Or.

Asked who he thought has a chance of winning the coveted award, Neymar told 'AS': "I would say, Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe."

Ronaldo is an obvious contender for the trophy - which will be officially presented in December - again after helping Real Madrid to a third consecutive Champions League title last season.

Despite his fine form, many are tipping Luca Modric for the main prize - given that the Croatian midfielder won FIFA's The Best award.

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have won the award five times.
