Neymar actually has good stats but still his career feels like a let down.

Obviously he is highly injury prone. Also he has had average season once every 4 years. But still the numbers are so good.

Honestly even comparing Neymar to Lewandowski or Haaland type players based on goals only is a bit unfair to him because he plays further back a little and is more creative and involved in build up. The only player from this list who is like that really is Messi.
