#4 Neymar Jr. – Barcelona – 59 goals in first 100 games
The Brazilian has been an unequivocal success ever since joining from Santos, repaying the amount Barcelona paid for him and then some. Curiously though, Neymar only scored 9 times in his first 26 games, a rate of 0.35 gpg in his first season. Neymar has scored 50 goals in 74 games since, a rate of 0.68 gpg, almost twice his rate in the first season.
Neymar has a habit of scoring against the big La Liga sides, with Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid conceding 8,7 and 6 times against him recently. However, the Brazilian is not as prolific against Real Madrid, only scoring against them thrice.
