The 25-year-old just can't keep scoring both for club and country. Despite his slow start at the beginning of the season when he seemed to specialize on assists than goals, the former Santos man is now firing from all cylinders.
After finding the back of the net against Uruguay last week in their World Cup qualifier, the Barcelona star was on target, once against, against Paraguay today. And the goal was simply out of this world - it demonstrated just what the speedy forward has to offer in the world of football.
The goal seemed to confirm that, indeed, the star player is living under the shadow of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He picked the ball along the touchline of the left wing, left two players for dead, paced into the danger zone and skilfully squeezed the ball past three more defenders with the goalkeeper well beaten.
Here's another look at the goal in case you missed it. Please note that the video is geo-restricted and may not be available in some countries.

The 2016 Ballon d'Or nominee has now scored 52 goals for the Samba Boys. He needs three more to become the third-highest goal scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team.
NEYMAR for Brazil:: The legendary Pele is the all-time goal scorer for Brazil with 77 goals, followed by Ronaldo, who found the back of the net 62 time in a career plagued by injuries. And now that Neymar is only 25 years old, he could become the country's all-time goalscorer in the next few years.
