SANTOS.

THIS is how Neymar celebrated his 200th official game for Santos

Is this the best goal of his career?

SANTOS:

In 2012 Neymar received the Bola de Ouro Hors Concours making him ineligible to win the award again. Pelé was the only other player to receive this status. An incredible achievement.

SANTOS:

In 2012, Neymar delivered one of the best responses possible on the pitch after being mocked by the opposing teams manager in the Copa Libertadores. https://twitter.com/neymoleque/status/1328447422339706883

In 2013 Neymar broke the record for the most expensive transfer of all time for a player going from South America to Europe when he went signed to Barcelona for €86.2M.

BARCELONA:

1x UEFA Champions League
2x La Liga
3x Copa del Rey

BARCELONA:

In 2015, after Messi picked up an injury, Neymar was carrying Barcelona for a month, playing at the highest level of his career at the time.

This Puskás contender he scored against Villarreal is absolutely INSANE

BARCELONA:

La Remontada (1/2)

In 2017, after PSG defeated Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, Neymar started a historical remontada campaign after he said: “As long as there is 1% chance, we will have 99% faith.”

BARCELONA:

La Remontada (2/2)

In the second leg, Neymar won a penalty (Messi scored), scored a perfect free-kick, a penalty & provided Sergi Roberto the game winning assist in the last minute to make the biggest comeback in UCL history.

One of the greatest performances ever.

Neymar La Liga highlights.

In 2017 Neymar once again shocked the world by announcing his move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. This transfer broke the world record for the most expensive football transfer of all time at €222M.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN:

Scored against Marseille in his first ever Le Classique.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN:

I don’t want to get copyrighted but in 2018, Neymar scored his first poker (4 goals) for PSG against Dijon. His hat-trick goal was a beautiful solo run, should’ve been a Puskás contender in my opinin.

Here is the link:

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN:

In 2019, after rumours surfaced that Neymar wanted to return to Barcelona, Neymar was booed ALL GAME by his own PSG supporters against Strasbourg.

Neymar scored a last minute weak foot bicycle kick winner. The fans celebrated

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN:

Neymar was abused & a victim of racism by Álvaro González & Payet during & after a match against Marseille.

The next time they faced, Neymar came off the bench to score the game winning goal to win the Trophée des Champions. He later trolled both of them.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN:

Neymar trolling Payet after he posted a similar video when Marseille beat PSG in a league match. https://twitter.com/neymoleque/status/1349492351958478850

Neymar’s first 50 Ligue 1 goals, some absolute beauties in here.

Despite being world class on the pitch, he is also world class off of it. One of the best players, if not the best at showing his fans appreciation & love, take a look at these examples.

A TRUE ROLE MODEL!

Another perfect example we had the privilege of making go viral the other week. https://twitter.com/neymoleque/status/1352318116752207877

Neymar also built his own institution to help unprivileged children in Brazil https://twitter.com/neymoleque/status/1355960083281305605

The institution has been closed for months because of COVID-19 yet Neymar is still paying the salary of over 200 workers to ensure they are not affected.
