EXHIBIT A
He's the only Brazilian to score 100+ goals at three different clubs.
Santos. Barcelona. PSG. The man treats top flight football like a frequent flyer programme.
"sorry, was that a treble? my bad, I have 39 trophies, I lose count"
EXHIBIT B
Came home to Santos for one reason: the 2026 World Cup.
Returned in Feb 2025, picked up the iconic #10 shirt (yes, that #10, Pelé's), and started cooking again.
FUN-FACT
Born Feb 5, 1992 in Mogi das Cruzes.
His dad was also a footballer. The dribble genes are real.
SUSPICIOUS
Allegedly flew the Santos squad on his private jet.
Because the club ran out of fuel money. We'd love to deny it. We can't.
CHAMPIONS LG.
All-time Brazilian top scorer AND top assister in the UEFA Champions League.
43 goals. 33 assists. Just to settle the "but did he do it in Europe?" discourse.
2016 ⚡
Scored the winning penalty in the Olympic final.
Brazil's first ever men's Olympic football gold. He cried. We cried. Everyone cried.
FREE KICKS
22–24 free-kick goals in his career.
Wall doesn't matter. Wind doesn't matter. Goalie's prayers, definitely don't matter.
REALITY CHECK
The Al-Hilal era is something we don't talk about.
1 goal. 3 assists. 7 appearances. We will be remembering the Saudi Arabia chapter as a fever dream. Moving on.
"contract? what contract? oh THAT contract."
NAME-DROP
Full name: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior.
Five words. Two surnames. One legend. Most people just go with "Ney". Some go with "Jr". The defenders go with "oh no".
