Neymar is Brazil's all-time top scorer.
Neymar is back in the Brazilian national team squad now as the highest-scoring player.
The last time Neymar was in the Brazilian national team squad, he scored 2 goals against Bolivia, thereby becoming the highest-scoring player in Brazil's history. He took over the record from the legend Pele, who had netted 77 times. Neymar is now at 79 goals, and it looks like a record he will hold for several years, as there is currently no clear contender.
Brazil’s all-time top scorer:
◉ Neymar (79)
◉ Pele (77)
◉ Ronaldo (62)
◉ Romario (55)
Many argue that Neymar does not receive the recognition he deserves. Looking at his stats, he is one of the best Brazilian players of all time. However, when discussions involve Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Pele, they are still prioritized higher than Neymar by Brazilian football fans. Whether it's his occasional ego or the lack of certain trophies that prevents him from achieving hero status is not clear, but one can conclude that he is one of the best Brazilian players based on his stats.
Neymar record for Brazil:
◉ 126 games
◉ 79 goals
◉ 58 assists
◉ 448 chances created
Neymar has moved to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, where he has had an approved start. Now, two matches against Venezuela and Uruguay await, and without criticizing Saudi Arabian football, the pace is higher here. It will be exciting to see if Neymar can continue his good form and extend his lead as Brazil's all-time top scorer.
