In addition, Neymar led Brazil to Olympic gold at the Rio 2016 home Games. He is currently the Seleção’s star and the country’s all-time top scorer. His most recent contract was amicably terminated in January 2025 after he played for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia for a year and a half.

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
