5 Brazilians who were brilliant in the 2017/18 season

#1 Neymar

Neymar joined PSG in the summer

Neymar became the most expensive player in history after sealing a record €222 million move to Paris Saint Germain in the summer. The attacker left Barcelona in a bid to step out of Lionel Messi's shadow and establish himself as the best in the world.

His first campaign with the Parisians was a brilliant one. The Brazilian linked up with fellow South American, Edinson Cavani and French prodigy, Kylian Mbappe and together, they formed a formidable attacking trio that took the world by surprise, with their amazing goalscoring exploits.

In his first season at the club, Neymar bagged 19 goals and 13 assists in the French top flight. He also bagged 6 goals and 3 assists in the UEFA Champions League.

The attacker repaid the trust that was placed in him, leading the Parisians to reclaim the Ligue 1 title in addition to winning both the Coupe de la Ligue and the Coupe de France trophies.

By virtue of his impressive performances, Neymar is one of the brightest Selecao superstars on the European soil during the campaign. The attacker has just returned from injury and he will be leading the Selecao in the World Cup next month.
