Neymar was twice named the South American Footballer of the Year, in 2011 and 2012, and soon relocated to Europe to join Barcelona.
As part of Barcelona's attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, he won the continental treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League, and finished third for the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2015 for his performances.
He then attained a domestic double in the 2015–16 season.

In France, Neymar won three league titles, two Coupe de France, and two Coupe de la Ligue, which included a domestic treble and being voted Ligue 1 Player of the Year in his debut season.
Neymar helped PSG attain a domestic quadruple in the 2019–20 season, and led the club to its first-ever Champions League Final.
With 64 goals in 103 matches for Brazil since debuting at age 18, Neymar is the second-highest goalscorer for his national team, trailing only Pelé.
