What If Neymar joined Real Madrid instead of Barca in 2013?

Duration: 19 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

In 2013 Barcelona won the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Neymar. He was widely tipped to be Brazil's greatest ever player and win multiple honours including the Ballon d'Or. However, since leaving Barcelona for PSG in 2017 Neymar has struggled. Brazil are still waiting for a World Cup, the Champions League continues to elude PSG and he is far from winning a Ballon d'Or. Specs Gonzalez is joined by co-host Tego Sigel and special guest Anita Abayomi to answer the question 'What If Neymar joined Real Madrid instead of Barcelona in 2013?' Would he have finally won the Ballon d'Or? Does he bring home the World Cup for Brazil? Would he become a legend as the late great Pelé? As always Specs has all the answers inside the world of his imagination.

Reference is made in the podcast to HMV's financial issues but to be clear the store is still very much open for business.
