Brazilian legend Ronaldo has claimed that Paris Saint-Germain winger Neymar is getting "closer and closer" to winning the Ballon d'Or.
"I haven't really spoken about it with him, but I think he has everything here to be happy. He's in a marvellous city. He's in a team that plays very well, who've had a good start to the season. Perhaps he's under a lot of pressure, but he's used to it. I think this project is incredible," Ronaldo told SFR Sport.
"He has everything to be happy and you can see that on the pitch. When he plays in a relaxed manner, happy, the results come. He pulls off great moves, scores beautiful goals. He gives joy to football.
"I think that, each time, he's closer and closer to winning this individual prize. Even if the criteria are variable and depend a lot on team performance. I'm sure he's close to it; 2018 is an important year. There is the World Cup in Russia where a lot of things can be decided."
