At this rate Neymar will surpass Pele, predicts Cafu
The Barcelona star is on fine form and has just three players ahead of him in Brazil's all-time scoring charts and has been tipped to surpass them all
Neymar has been backed to surpass Pele as Brazil's record goalscorer by Selecao legend Cafu.
The Barcelona forward already has 50 international goals to his name, with only Pele, Ronaldo and Romario ahead of him in the country's scoring charts.
Pele's tally of 77 Brazil goals puts him well ahead of the pack, but Cafu, Brazil's record appearance holder, thinks Neymar's quality and age means he is going to break the mark.
Cafu told FIFA: "All records exist only to be beaten. Of course, Neymar has got it in him.
