PSG's Neymar will be chasing Brazil's top scorer record which is currently been held by Pele.
Brazil will take on Ghana in an international friendly tonight in Le Havre, France and the former Barcelona attacker will get the opportunity to break that record.
Pele scored 77 goals after 92 appearances from 1957 to 1971. Neymar is currently on 74 goals after making 119 appearances from 2010 to 2022.
Brazil has been labelled as the favourite in this encounter. Both countries are using this friendly to prepare for the 2022 World Cup which will be held in Qatar.
Brazil head coach Tite shocked football fans when he left out Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus.
