NEYMAR is nowsecond-highestghest scorer of all time for Brazil after his hat-trick against Peru in the early hours of Wednesday.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward scored thrice in the 4-2 World Cup qualifying win and overtook Ronaldo de Lima into second place behind Pele on Brazil’s all-time goalscoring list.
The former Barcelona star now has 64 goals, two more than Ronaldo and 13 behind Pele, who tops the list with 77, according to the count by world governing body FIFA.
Brazil coach Tite was refused compare Neymar with legends Ronaldo and Pele, who both won multiple World Cups.
“It’s unfair making comparisons,” he said.
“What I can say is Neymar has this unpredictability. He is the bow and the arrow, he’s a player who both makes and takes chances. And he gets better and better, and more mature.”
On Tuesday, Neymar equalled and then surpassed Ronaldo with two penalties either side of halftime before grabbing No 64 in injury time at Lima’s National Stadium.
Neymar celebrated by paying tribute to Ronaldo, holding up the No 9 with his hands.
Neymar made his Brazil debut in 2010 and has scored his 64 goals in 103 games.
