The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward became only the third player in the history of South American football to score 75 international goals. He reached the mark with his goal against Tunisia, with Brazil winning 5-1.
The 30-year-old scored from the penalty spot in the 29th minute of the game as Richarlison, Pedro and Raphinha were also on target. Barcelona’s new signing Raphinha scored a brace, including a well-taken effort from outside the box.
Pele scored 77 goals in only 92 games for the Selecaos. Messi, meanwhile, has 88 goals for Argentina in 163 games. Neymar’s tally is now 75, which he has managed in 121 games for Brazil.
The Brazilian has been in scintillating form for PSG as well. He has enjoyed an amazing start to his campaign so far this season. In 11 games, the 30-year-old has scored 11 goals and provided eight assists for the Parisians.
