Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo might have dominated the Ballon d'Or for the past decade but Juliano Belletti feels Neymar can step up.
Neymar is ready to assume the mantle of being the best player in the world, according to former Barcelona full-back Juliano Belletti.
Brazil captain Neymar is one shy of bringing up his 100th Barca goal and continues to be viewed as a supreme part of a forward collective alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Messi and Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo have engaged in a two-way fight for the Ballon d'Or for most of the past decade but Belletti, who scored the winning goal in the 2006 Champions League final against Arsenal, believes his countryman is improving all the time.
