How many goals has Neymar scored for Brazil? Selecao star’s full World Cup, Copa America and international friendly record

The Brazilian has been banging in the goals for his country ever since opening his account in 2010 

Neymar is not just one of the best footballers in terms of trickery and style, but he is also an incredible asset when it comes to scoring goals.

The Paris Saint-Germain star is second on the list of Brazil’s all-time leading goal scorers, just behind all-time great Pele.

For the national team, it all started with a goalscoring debut appearance in a 2-0 win against the USA in 2010.

His next two goals came against Scotland in 2011 and since then, Neymar has not looked back, scoring freely for Brazil and achieving many accolades along the way.

Just how many strikes does the Brazilian have to his name, though, and in which competitions did he find the net the most often?
