Discover which video games are Neymar Jr's favorite in this new episode of Neymar's Favorite 5.

1. Neymar likes a little bit of high-intensity action from his games, so the first one on his list is the popular first-person shooter game Call of Duty.
2. Neymar cannot stay away from football very long, so after training with the Barcelona or Brazil squads, he gets back out on the virtual field and does it all over again with games like Pro Evolution Soccer.

3. He also likes to get behind the wheel and enjoy open-world games like GTA. That’s understandable: who doesn’t like to enjoy total freedom in a virtual world?
4. Staying in the sports world, the Ballon d’Or nominee likes to get in the ring and express his inner fighter in games like UFC.
5. Last but not least, Neymar picked another ball sport. He's a big fan of basketball games, but the question is: are his dribbling skills as good with his hands on a cyber-court as they are with his feet on the pitch?
