'Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar can't play together'

Zahavi insisted that Neymar made the right decision to leave Barcelona for PSG last summer - a deal which he helped broker - because he would always be second fiddle to Messi at the Camp Nou. 

"Neymar did what he had to," he told the Polish outlet 'Przeglad Sportowy'. "There are only three football superstars -- Messi, Cristiano and Neymar. They can't play in one club.

"At Barca, Ney always was the No. 2. He was the second to shoot from free kicks, second to the penalties, second to everything.

"He came to Spain as a young boy. He grew up. Now he's 26 and has eight or nine years at the top level. He needs independence."

Neymar was given the star billing at PSG and has lived up to it with 28 goals in 30 matches. He is currently in Brazil as he continues his recovery from injury.
