The Brazilian wizard spent six years with Ligue 1 champions and racked up 118 goals in 173 matches, making him Paris Saint-Germain's fourth-all-time highest scorer.

In terms of national performances with 77 goals in 124 caps, he is currently Brazil's joint-top scorer, on par with football icon Pele.

President and CEO of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, shared some emotional words for the attacker as he ended his journey with them

"It is always difficult to say goodbye to an amazing player like Neymar, one of the best players in the world, said. I will never forget the day he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain, and what he has contributed to our Club and our project over the last 6 years. We had a great moment and Neymar will always be a big part of our history. I would like to thank Neymar and his family. We wish Neymar all the very best for the future and his next adventure," Khelaifi said as quoted by PSG.com.

Neymar walked away as champions as over the seasons, he added four Ligue 1 titles (2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023), two Coupes de France (2020 and 2021), a Coupe de la Ligue (2020) and three Trophees des Champions (2018, 2020 and 2022). An impressive record, that is backed by individual statistics.
