Joao Neves Names Joao Felix Best Player in Saudi League
Joao Neves, a 21-year-old midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, has publicly snubbed Cristiano Ronaldo when asked to name the best player in the Saudi Pro League. Despite having played alongside Ronaldo 14 times, Neves chose to highlight Joao Felix, a former Chelsea and Barcelona star, as the standout player in the league.
In an interview, Neves expressed his admiration for Felix, calling him a "magic player." This decision to overlook Ronaldo, who has been delivering strong performances since joining Al Nassr a few years ago, has drawn attention, especially given Ronaldo's high profile in the league. Neves' comments reflect a shift in recognition within the league, as he identifies Felix as the top talent, indicating a growing appreciation for players beyond the established stars.
