At just 23-years-old, Neymar can achieve something that his famous countryman, Ronaldo, failed to do by clinching the trophy that the Brazil legend never won.

Ronaldo de Lima won two World Cup titles as well as the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Cup Winner's Cup and the Supercopa de Espana.
Neymar has not yet been able to match Ronaldo's Selecao records, but could win a trophy that one of his idols never did should Barcelona emerge victorious against Juventus in the Champions League final on Saturday.
"The anxiety is great. Ronaldo didn't win the Champions League and that is proof of how difficult it is, but I will do everything possible to be champion," Neymar said, according to Globoesporte.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, revealed that he will support the Catalans because of his countryman.
"I will cheer for Barcelona. Juventus was always a big rival in Italy. Barcelona is another rival because I played longer with Real Madrid, but naturally I will go with Neymar because he is the representative of Brazil in the Champions League final," he explained.
The 38-year-old then praised Neymar for his development this season.
"He has everything to break all records, not only mine. And this should serve as a motivation for the future," Ronaldo added.
Neymar was seemingly flattered with the plaudits but insisted he just wants to help his team instead of surpassing any football greats.
"I appreciate Ronaldo's words but I do not want to surpass or be better than anyone," the current Brazil captain responded.
"I just want to better myself and help my team, which is most important."
