Neymar Left With A Goal To Overtake Pele's Record

Brazilian football sensation Neymar Jr is on the cusp of etching his name in the annals of football history as he needs just one more goal to surpass the legendary Pele and become Brazil's all-time leading scorer. Currently, the prolific forward, who recently made headlines with his move to Al-Hilal this summer, is deadlocked with his iconic compatriot, both boasting an impressive tally of 77 goals. As Neymar inches closer to this historic milestone, it seems only a matter of time before he secures goal number 78 and etches his name at the pinnacle of Brazilian football history. The stage for this record-breaking feat could potentially be set during Brazil's 2026 World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, a highly anticipated fixture that could see Neymar emerging as the all-time leading scorer. Following that encounter, Brazil is slated to face Peru next Tuesday, adding an extra layer of excitement to the journey towards this remarkable achievement. “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.
