Neymar Jr has had a roller coaster journey till now. The Brazilian joined FC Barcelona in 2013 after the Catalans decided to break the bank for him.

Santos was the first team that saw Neymar's prowess. He scored 122 goals for the Brazilian side, and went on to score 105 goals in Spain during his 4-year spell with the Catalans. Since moving to Paris Saint-Germain, he has been scoring for fun. He has netted 59 goals for the Parisians in his short stint which has been plagued with injuries.

Major trophies won by Neymar include 2 La Liga titles, 2 Ligue 1 titles, FIFA Confederations Cup, 3 Copa Del Reys, 1 UCL and FIFA CWC each. Individual honours include FIFA Puskas award and inclusion in FIFPro XI twice.

Neymar is a technically gifted player, known for his creativity, dribbling, feints, and pace. He possesses great vision and tremendous finishing abilities. He is brilliant in set-pieces, crossing and can pretty much do everything in the attacking third.
