His goal took him on to 55 from 85 tops and he was pleased to move level with Romario as Brazil's third most astounding scorer, deserting him 22 record-holder Pele. 

Addressing correspondents, Neymar stated: "For me it is a significant privilege, awesome bliss to achieve Romario, to be among the best scorers of the Brazilian group. 

"I needed to pay respect to him somehow on the grounds that he is an icon. Like I said a week ago, I would prefer not to be superior to anybody, just myself. 

"So it was an approach to pay tribute, since he is a symbol, not simply to me, but rather all Brazilians."
