Paris Saint-Germain forward and Brazilian international Neymar has named Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker as the toughest opponent he has ever faced.

The Brazilian was asked by DAZN Canada to name the toughest opponent he has faced in his career so far.

Neymar replied: “Walker! Because he’s fast, strong and intelligent.”

Walker is regarded by many as the best right-back in the Premier League. Since joining Manchester City from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017, he has won four Premier League titles, four League Cups, one FA Cup and two Community Shields.

Real Madrid forward and former Chelsea star Eden Hazard has also previously named Walker as the toughest opponent he has faced.

Hazard told ESPN: “I am strong, I am fast but he is stronger than me and he is faster than me.

“As a right-back, he is one of the best at the moment.”
