A Peak into Neymar’s Footballing Pedigree

After his spell at Santos, Neymar moved to Europe where he played for Barcelona from 2013 to 2017. He was a key part of the Barca team that won the treble of domestic league, domestic cup, and European Cup in the 2014-15 season, and finished third for the FIFA Ballon d’Or in 2015 for his performances. Neymar Jr moved to PSG in 2017 where he has also contributed immensely to the growth of the club. He led the Ligue 1 giants to win many trophies and also helped them reach the Champions League finals in the 2019-20 season.
Neymar’s performance in Brazil is also on record, climbing up the ranks as he scored a goal for Brazil in the 10th qualification game back in September and became Brazil’s all-time top scorer in FIFA World Cup qualification matches, with 12 in total. Neymar was named as the Player of the Tournament at the 2021 Copa América. The 29-year old football star remains one of the most decorated players currently in active club and country engagement.
Neymar Jr’s Best Moments: A Good Economics for NFTSTAR
In conjunction with NR Sports and the in-house NFTSTAR designers, artists, and creators will be developing digital collections, including video, animation, and other digital artworks, which will record the highlights of Neymar Jr’s career and personal growth. As the company announced:
