100 - This is the tota number of goals Neymar has scored for Barcelona since joining them in 2013 from Brazilian outfit Santos. The fan-favorite player is enjoying what could be one of his best seasons in recent times.
He has been on fire for Brazil at the World Cup qualifiers and after a slow start at Barcelona, the 25-year-old has now rediscovered his goal-scoring boots. He started the 2016/17 providing more assists than goals and was widely criticised by some of his critics following the goal-drought.

The Olympic winner has also emerged as one of the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or this year, according to some football fans on social media. But with the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Saurez, Antoine Griezmann and Cristiano Ronaldo still dominating the football scenes this season, it may be too early to judge.

Neymar has surpassed Suárez for me now. Does the business in CL and we may have a Ballon d'Or winner not named Messi or Ronaldo.
