Top 10 set-piece takers in Europe

#1 Neymar Jr.

The man for the big occasion, Brazil and newly signed PSG superstar, Neymar is arguably the best set-piece taker in world football at the moment. Having recently completed a record breaking €222 million move from Barcelona to PSG, the 25-year-old has wasted no time in making an impact scoring and setting up goals for fun in his first three games.

The man for the big occasion, Neymar has time and again brought out his best in crunch situations. Who can forget the incredible Barcelona comeback (ironically) against PSG, where the Brazilian scored and set up 2 goals in the last 5 minutes.

Also, Neymar's incredible corner assist for Kurzawa at PSG is still being talked about in tones of awe and the Ligue 1 giants will be really pleased with having tied up the deal for one of the best players of this generation.

Neymar's assist to Kurzawa is definitely a thing of beauty.
