"If you want to be the best in the world... PSG are a strong side, but they don't have the history in the Champions League and they're not the strongest side in Europe. That's why I think he made a mistake," Rivaldo explained.
However, the former Brazil international was quick to add that the move certainly made sense on some level, saying: "Financially, it was a good move for him and his family."
Like many others, Rivaldo had some advice for Neymar in his quest to win the Ballon d'Or. "He has to win the Champions League, to do something different, if he wants to win the Ballon d'Or. His team will win the League and Cup double... but it is not the most competitive division," he pointed out.
Meanwhile, Rivaldo also took the opportunity to discuss fellow compatriot Coutinho. "He's very happy," he explained. "At Liverpool he didn't win a single trophy and at Barcelona he already has two. He's got a lot of confidence in the club and he's going to show just how good he is."
Finally, the legend concluded by discussing Barcelona icon Andres Iniesta, ahead of his final game for the club. "They'll miss him, but that's life... Barca will suffer, though new faces will arrive. I left, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho... You need to find other players of a similar quality. It's not easy, Iniesta could have been names the best player in the world for everything he did," he concluded.
