With 79 goals since his 2010 international debut, Neymar has surpassed the legendary Pele to become Brazil’s all-time top scorer in September 2023. He may have played his finest football as the country’s poster boy during his stint with the Seleção.
Neymar scored in Brazil’s 3-0 victory against Spain in the 2013 Confederations Cup final, earning him the title of player of the tournament. His greatest moment wearing the canary shirt occurred in Rio 2016 following a disappointing World Cup the year after, during which he had a severe back injury.
In an attempt to bring back memories of 2014 and surpass the silver medal from London 2012, Neymar led the youthful Brazilian team to a fantastical gold medal match against Germany, who had dealt them a devastating 7-1 loss at the World Cup.
Neymar went up, faltered, and sent the goalie the wrong way in the penalty shootout’s final spot kick to win Brazil’s first-ever Olympic gold medal.In
