Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has revealed three of the toughest defenders he's faced in his career.
The Brazilian forward has played against some of the world's best defenders for close to a decade now since he left Brazil for Barcelona in 2013.
Neymar has often been on the receiving end of a few hard tackles due to skilful way of playing the game. The PSG star has now revealed that Manchester City and England full-back Kyle Walker is one of the toughest he's come up against.
"[Kyle] Walker. Because he's fast, strong and intelligent," Neymar told DAZN.
When asked for more defenders, the Brazilian added Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger and Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.
"He's a centre-back who strikes fear into you," he said about Rudiger.
"He's very strong and big. Some forwards get a bit scared."
"Playing against Van Dijk is tough because as a centre-back he's so strong and intelligent.
"He knows when it's the right time to close you down and when to go in for a tackle. That makes it harder."
