Neymar scored once again for Brazil in their comfortable 4-0 2021 Copa America win over Peru early this morning, edging closer to a certain Pele record.
According to FIFA, Selecao icon Pele scored 77 goals for his country, and Neymar, who now has 68 international goals to his name, has set his sights on eclipsing the legend as he attempts to lead his side to another Copa America title.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward became emotional during a post-match interview after his team's victory over the Peruvians as he discussed his goals tally for his country and how much it means to him to represent his nation.
"It is obvious for me that this is a great honour, to be a part of Brazil history," he said, according to the Daily Mail.
"To be very honest, my dream was to play for Brazil, wear this shirt. I never imagined I would get to these numbers.
"It is very emotional to me because I went through a lot of things over these last two years, difficult and complicated things.
"These numbers are nothing compared to the happiness I have playing for Brazil."
Pele later took to Instagram to post a picture of the pair together, stating in the caption: "I, like all Brazilians, am always happy when I see him [Neymar] play ball.
"Today he gave another step toward my record of goals for the Selecao. And I am cheering for him to get there, with the same joy I have since I saw him play for the first time."
