Paris Saint-Germain v RSC Anderlecht - UEFA Champions League
Neymar has been sensational with the national team as well.

Since the summer of 2017, all the attention on Neymar has been focused upon his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain and his humongous price tag. But that has not deterred the Brazilian poster boy to do what he does best - scoring for fun and making a mockery of the opposing defenders.

With 15 goals and 9 assists, Ligue 1 has lightened up with the arrival of it's biggest star in decades. He has been sensational with the national team as well - captaining and being the top scorer of a Brazil side considered by many, as a favourite to win the World Cup.

In his final season for FC Barcelona, Neymar managed 13 goals and 10 assists and produced one of the most iconic individual performances against his current side in the Champions League. All in all, 2017 has been the year of the boy from Santos and by winning the Ballon d'Or, Neymar can finally bridge the gap between him and the two superhumans of football.
