Internet Desk: Barcelona’s Brazilian superstar Neymar jr. who scored the winning goal for the Catalans on Sunday night in the 4-1 win over Granada, scored his 100th goal for the Spanish giants.
Scoring 100 goals in 177 games is some going and it’s made even better when you consider he’s done it all at a quicker rate than team-mate Lionel Messi.
Messi reached 100 goals in 188 matches – 11 more than the 25-year-old took to reach his tally.
The breakdown includes 64 in La Liga, 21 in the Champions League, 14 in the Copa del Rey and one in the Spanish Supercopa.
His first goal for the club came against Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa in 2013. He celebrated his 100th goal in typical fashion. Fingers pointed to the skies and surrounded by his team-mates.
Since joining from Santos in 2013, Neymar has become a fans’ favourite – something that was yet again evident when one fan ran on the pitch to celebrate with him after scoring in Sunday’s game.
