Last but not least is Neymar—the man who stole the show at the 2013 Confederations Cup with an incredible attacking performance that seemingly justified the mountain of hype that surrounds him.
And despite all of what we witnessed firsthand at the competition (and have likely seen on YouTube before), the reality is that Neymar is still nowhere near his potential.
At just 21 years of age, Neymar is not even close to completely tapping in to his massive talent—and that is a truly scary thought indeed. The former Santos star has finally secured a move to Barcelona this summer and will line up next year along the likes of Andres Iniesta and, of course, Lionel Messi. That should see the start of his true unveiling as the next greatest superstar and should place him in a great position to leave his mark on the 2014 World Cup in a big way—even more so than the Confederations Cup this year.
Neymar seemingly has the world at his feet at the moment and could very well become in the Messi-Ronaldo debate in a few years time if he starts to reach his full potential. He's already a superstar now, so imagine where he'll be in 12 months time after his first full season with Barcelona!
Just how high the ceiling is for Neymar's potential still remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—despite all that we've seen, he's nowhere near reaching it yet.
