Neymar one goal away from overtaking Pele as Brazil’s all-time top scorer

Neymar Jr needs to score one more goal to surpass Pele as Brazil’s all-time leading scorer.

As things stand, the forward, who signed for Al-Hilal this summer, sits level with his legendary compatriot on 77 goals.

It would appear to be only a matter of time before Neymar finds goal number 78 and overtakes the three-time World Cup winner Pele.

That historic strike could be recorded in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, while Brazil also face Peru next Tuesday.
