PSG superstar Neymar failed to make it to 2022 Ballon d Or top 30

PSG's Brazilian superstar Neymar failed to make it to the 30-man final shortlist for the 2022 Ballon d'Or award. His teammate in Paris, Lionel Messi, also wasn't part of the same. He has previously finished third in the Ballon d'Or rankings on two occasions, in 2015 and 2017. The former Santos forward had an injury-riddled last season as he was restricted to just 28 appearances across competitions for the French giants. He scored 13 goals and provided eight assists in them. He has, however, started the new season in fine fashion and has been among the best performers in Europe's top five leagues. The Brazil international has scored 12 goals and provided nine assists in just 16 appearances and looks set to overhaul his last season's tally. Messi, on the other hand, scored 11 and assisted 15 goals last season. This term, however, he seems to have regained his mojo and has raced to eight goals and as many assists in 14 matches.
