Neymar keeps getting closer to a record breaking career with Brazil's National Team. Today, one of Barcelona's stars showed his class with Brazil after scoring another brace and assisting for another goal in Brazil's performance against Turkey.
Neymar scored his first goal after a deep cross by Fernandinho, getting inside the box and striking the ball in style with his right foot after 20 minutes of playing time. Semih Kaya scored an own goal just four minutes after Neymar's score, and the first half ended with the former Santos player setting the stage for Willian to make it 3-0 after 45 minutes.
After the break, the Turkish were not able to contain Brazil's attack, and it was Neymar who scored his second goal of the day after dribbling past two defenders and putting the ball between Kaya's legs. After that goal, both teams laid back and many substitutions were made. The local fans took their chance to cheer for Brazil, since their National Team was barely putting up a fight.

Neymar in a Brazil shirt is simply insane. His goalscoring record at 22 is unheard of in recent years.
