Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, known mononymously as Neymar, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or a forward for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Santos. A goalscorer and playmaker, he is known for his dribbling, technical ability, agility, passing, and finishing. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, he was recognised as the best player in Europe for three consecutive seasons from 2016–17 to 2018–19 according to performance tracking data, while ranking second in 2015–16, 2019–20 and 2020–21. He is both the all-time top goalscorer (80) and assist provider (59) for the Brazil national team. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
25 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2011–2022The archive holds 25 team sheets naming Neymar in Brazil's starting line-up, from 2011-07-03 to 2022-12-09.
25 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
