Neymar greets self on birthday

BRAZIL football sensation Neymar wished 'Happy Birthday' to self on Wednesday (February 5). The Paris Saint-Germain forward turned 28.

"Happy birthday to me, thank for everything my God #Njr28," he posted on twitter, with his back-view photo in a pool.


Born in 1992, Neymar came into prominence at an early age at Santos, where he made his professional debut aged 17.

He helped the club win two successive Campeonato Paulista championships, a Copa do Brasil, and the 2011 Copa Libertadores, with the latter being Santos' first since 1963.

Neymar was twice named the South American Footballer of the Year, in 2011 and 2012, and soon relocated to Europe to join Barcelona.

In 2019, Forbes ranked him the world's third highest-paid athlete.

His followers showered him with greetings on b-day on twitter.

With 61 goals in 101 matches for Brazil since debuting at age 18, Neymar is the third-highest goalscorer for his national team, trailing only Pelé and Ronaldo.

SportsPro named him the most marketable athlete in the world in 2012 and 2013, and ESPN cited him as the world's fourth-most famous athlete in 2016.

In 2017, Neymar was included by Time in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. By 2018, France Football ranked Neymar the world's third highest-paid footballer.
