The answer might come as a slight surprise.
When asked by Dream Team at the Neymar Jr’s Fives tournament in Santos, Neymar couldn’t settle on just one.
He said: “Of course I would have to pick Lionel Messi.
“But after that it’s Gabriel Jesus- he’s incredibly skillful. I’d also have to pick Robinho, who is my idol, and Ganso at Sevilla.
“And I can’t forget Ronaldinho.”
Picking Ronaldinho and Messi is no surprise, but the inclusion of Ganso is likely to turn heads.
The midfielder, who also started his career at Santos, is currently struggling to get a look in at Sevilla and is nowhere selection for the Brazil squad.
How well does Neymar know Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez?
Man City fans will be pleased to see the selection of Jesus, who took the Premier League by storm after arriving from Palmeiras.
And what would a list of skillful South Americans be without the inclusion of Mr Stepover Robinho?
So there you have it- Messi, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Jesus and Ganso. They’d be an incredible 5-a-side team if they ever managed to pass to each other.
