Neymar has surpassed Pele's goalscoring record for Brazil — but there are many reasons he should be classed as one of football's greats
In 2022, while affected by injury at the start of the competition, Neymar provided that outstanding moment against Croatia before his team-mates left the back door open and Croatia equalised. Neymar had indicated that would be his last World Cup and his inability to triumph will be held against him, but Neymar wasn’t the reason Brazil have failed to win the World Cup in his time, the same way it wasn’t Zico’s fault he never won it either.
Neymar’s transfer to PSG in 2017 is held up as the moment where he got things wrong. It was a move to a lesser league, certainly, but then Barcelona were slowly becoming more and more shambolic and Neymar was moving to the most ambitious club in European football to be the main man — this was shortly beforesigned — and it was a chance to dominate a top side rather than play second fiddle to Messi at Barcelona.
