Neymar One Goal Away From Overtaking Pele As Brazil’s All-Time Top Scorer

As things stand, the forward, who signed for Al-Hilal this summer, sits level with his legendary compatriot on 77 goals.  
It has been revealed that 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.
“It is hard to know what that record means, but it does mean a lot.
“No-one ever thought about overcoming that. It is something I will respond after it is done,” Neymar said ahead of the fixtures.
