The Brazilian is another player who wears the same shirt number for club and country. Neymar started his career with Santos in his native country, where he rose through the ranks and caught the notice of the whole world.

Barcelona were the first to react, beating the crowd to secure his signature. Neymar joined the Catalans in the summer of 2013 and soon became one of the best players in the world. Together with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, the Brazilian formed a spectacular frontline that spread fear into the hearts of the opposition's defence.

Until then, Neymar had worn the No. 11 jersey all through his club career. In the summer of 2017, the Brazilian decided to move out of Messi’s shadow at the Camp Nou and switched to Paris to join Paris Saint-Germain. He was handed over the No. 10 jersey, previously worn by fellow South American Javier Pastore and also by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Even though he has been riddled with injuries since the move, the Brazilian has managed to turn heads at the French capital, wowing fans with his trickery and his ability to score goals. As of now, Neymar has scored 55 times in 63 appearances for PSG and is one of the best No. 10s in world football.

The Brazilian started by wearing the No. 11 jersey for his nation too. Since the 2012/13 season, Neymar has switched to the No. 10 jersey for Brazil as well.
