Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, more commonly known as just Neymar, may be barely 20 but that hasn’t stopped some from comparing him to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.

The 5’9 forward from Brazil plays for Santos as well as the Brazilian national football team.

With impressive performances like his recent 3 goals against Internacional (for which he was named Copa Libertadores Player of the Week), and the 2011 FIFA Puskás Award for best goal of the season, Neymar is already being compared to the 24-year-old Barça player Lionel Messi.
