Barcelona's Neymar Is Just 2 Goals Away From Joining Exclusive Club Alongside Messi and Pele

Published on: 26 January 2017

At the age of 24, Neymar has managed to win more trophies than many footballers could only dream about in their entire career.


The Barcelona forward, in a short but illustrious career, has wonLa Liga title, an Olympic gold medal, the Champions League andCopa Libertadores.


Now the young Brazilian is only two goals away from achieving a phenomenal individual achievement.

If Neymar manages to score two goals before his 25th birthday (February 5) he will become only the sixth player to score 300 career goals, before the age of 25.


The forward has two games before his birthday, againstReal Betis and Athletic Club, in order to register his 299th and 300th goal.


The Brazilian would join an exclusive club of just five members alongsideLionel Messi (306 goals), Ferenc Puskas (309), Eusebio (318), Jimmy Greaves (330) and Pele (495, ridiculous) if he managed to score the two goals.


All eyes will be on the Brazilian in the next couple of games,hopefully he'll cope with the pressure and join the elite list.
