Lionel Messi And Cristiano Ronaldo are not the best players in the world, according to Brazilan Neymar.
Neymar believes they are both from another planet - making him the best player in the world.
With 5 Ballon D'or awards to each Messi and Ronaldo, both are eyeing a record sixth by the end of the year.
Messi won Barcelona La Liga last season while Ronaldo won Madrid the Champions League for the third successive season.
The result of this year's Ballon D'or winner could be down to who triumphs in Russia.
Cristiano Ronaldo sent the World ablaze yesterday with his stunning Hat-trick against Spain last night, while Messi failed to impress against Iceland as Argentina settled for a 1-1 draw.
Neymar who begins his World Cup campaign with Brazil on Sunday, believes the pairs are a different class above him.
"The two who are above all others right now are Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi,” Neymar said.
"For all modesty, today I am the best player in the world — because they are from another planet."
“I try to always be among the best.
"I don't want to be the best player in the world, I want to win the World Cup.
"Winning the trophy would make myself, my family and my country so happy."
Brazil eye a record sixth World Cup with victory in Russia.
