Last season, Neymar was unfortunate with injuries, with a Metatarsal Fracture ruling him out from the end of February. He still finished with an impressive 28 goals from 30 games in all competitions.

This season, the Brazilian has started strong again and has already picked up 11 goals and 5 assists from 12 games. In the Champions League, Neymar has scored 3 goals from 3 games so far.

He failed to find the net in the 3-2 defeat at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield, but the Brazilian made up for it by firing PSG to a 6-1 win at home against Red Star, where he completed a hattrick. However, he failed to score against Napoli at home on Wednesday, as PSG were held to a surprising 2-2 draw.

Neymar will be finally hoping to take the Champions League by storm this season and mark himself as one of the greats of the tournament by becoming the top scorer. As of now, he is 4th in this list.
