Neymar keeps crushing records with Brazil's National Team...and he's only 24.
A Canarinha's Number 10 joined Romario, Ronaldo and Pelé as the only four men in history to score 50+ goals for the South American giants in team history. The Brazilian ace needs six goals to surpass Romario's total (55), and with 28 more strikes he could become Brazil's all-time scoring leader.
Neymar becomes the 4th player in team history with 50 international goals.
