FORGET Messi or Ronaldo – Neymar just staked his claim to being the world’s best footballer after he hit a drone with a brilliant volley.
Neymar and Brazilian legend Ronaldo have been locked in a fierce skills battle as part of a PR stunt for online card room Poker Stars.
The pair have sent videos of each other pulling off outrageous skills.
And Neymar’s latest one may just have won the battle.
In his skill show, the 24-year-old expertly juggles the ball on his neck and balances it there for a while before smashing a volley into the sky – straight into a drone.
Clearly feeling triumphant, Neymar pulls up his hood, turns his back on the camera and reveals the #RaiseIt hashtag.
The incredible clip follows one that Ronaldo posted last week which, to be fair, is equally impressive.
Ronaldo – who played for the likes of Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid in his career – managed to expertly smash a ball into a speeding white car.
A drone following the vehicle shows the ball bouncing once on the tarmac before landing into the car.
It then cuts to Ronaldo who looks understandably chuffed.
Both ‘skillshots’ were shared online with the hashtag #RaiseIt and one of them has already been viewed over 750,000 times.
Neymar – who enjoyed a fantastic season with Barcelona – has already been the subject of transfer speculation this summer.
Manchester United were thought to have offered him a mega-money contract, but the forward’s dad claims he is happy at Barcelona.
Ronaldo – considered by many to be one of the greatest footballers of all time – retired in 2011 and is now an ambassador for the United Nations.
Brazil had a disappointment Copa America after they were knocked out at the group stage for the first time in more than 30 years.
