One of the most exciting aspects of eFootball 2025 v4.3.0 update is the incoming of the Big Time version of Neymar Jr., which is available in the Acceleration Burst Special Player List.

This card is based on Neymar’s stunning performance on January 11, 2015, when he, alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, orchestrated Barcelona’s famous MSN celebration.

In that match, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1, with Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suarez all scoring. This match was pivotal in establishing the deadly trio that dominated European football.

Given this historic moment, it is highly likely that the Monumental Celebration feature for Neymar’s Big Time card might recreate the iconic MSN celebration.

Konami has already confirmed that Neymar’s Big Time card will receive a Memorable Celebration after the next major v4.4.0 update, adding another layer of realism and nostalgia for fans of the game.

Additionally, as all Big Time cards possess, special commentary lines may be triggered when Neymar performs certain moves or celebrations.
