On social media, many fans mocked Cafu's statement, accusing him of bias due to Messi being Argentinian and Neymar being Brazilian.
Previously, it was widely believed that Neymar would be Messi's successor at Barcelona and become the main star of the Catalan giants after Leo's departure. However, the Brazilian chose his own path, joining PSG in 2017 for a record €222 million.
