There are very few, if any, players whose ambidexterity is as impressive as Neymar's, but the Brazilian phenom wouldn't say no to a foot from the Ballon d'Or's two other nominees.

After Cristiano Ronaldo, ultimately right-footed, admitted that he'd like to have Lionel Messi's famous left foot at the Ballon d'Or gala in Zurich, Switzerland, Neymar interjected, exclaiming: "I'd like to have a foot from each of them!"

Neymar also said that he doesn't know if he's at Messi and Ronaldo's level, but made it clear that the Argentinian virtuoso and the Portuguese superstar are both idols of his.

The three footballers, as expected, find themselves as the three nominees for Ballon d'Or 2015.
