Neymar

Neymar is Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 79 international goals, surpassing Pele in November 2023. Beyond his record, he was runner-up at the 2021 Copa America final, won an Olympic gold medal at Rio 2016, and lifted a UEFA Champions League title at Barcelona in 2015 where he scored in the final. His dribbling output at the 2014 World Cup on home soil was among the most prolific of the tournament, cementing his status as the defining Brazilian star of his generation despite a tournament-ending injury in the quarterfinals.
