Victor Boniface Declares Neymar the ‘GOAT’ in Rooney Feud
Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface made his position clear after Wayne Rooney downplayed Neymar’s standing among the sport’s elite. On a recent episode of a popular football show, Rooney said he never viewed Neymar as a “top, top player” alongside Messi or Ronaldo and even rated Mohamed Salah higher. Co-host Roy Keane questioned whether Neymar ever excelled as a true team player. Ian Wright defended the Brazilian’s talent but agreed that a handful of Premier League stars may have had the edge. The debate split fans online. Critics cited Neymar’s injury record and adaptation challenges, while supporters pointed to his technical brilliance and 79 goals for Brazil. To settle the dispute, Boniface simply posted a “GOAT” emoji on social media. His playful endorsement reflects how much he admires Neymar’s style and skill.
