Neymar hasn't had a spectacular performance in a World Cup game yet. However, when it comes to the statistics, the athlete's numbers stand out. Neymar is the player who has dribbled the most, shot on goal the most and suffered the most fouls in the Russia World Cup so far.

Messi's numbers are similar. Even though he doesn't lead in any of the categories analysed by Folha, he does appear among the top three when it comes to shots on goal, most dribbles and turnovers - alongside Neymar in all three cases.
