The time has come! Neymar just scored his first goal with Al Hilal

Neymar is one of the most outstanding players of recent years. Together with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, they formed one of the most decisive tridents in Europe. Even in 2015, together with FC Barcelona, he lifted the UEFA Champions League after beating Juventus in the final. Given this, everything seemed that the Brazilian would stay in Spain for a long time. Nevertheless, this was not the case.

In turn, after a series of conflicts with the Barcelona board of directors at that time, Ney decided to leave the Catalan club for Paris. In 2017, the player became the most expensive signing in soccer history. In that year, the French club paid $222 million euros for him. After approximately 6 years with the Parisians, the player signed this summer with Al Hilal of the Saudi Pro League.

According to national and international media, his departure was due to the fact that the Arab club came to the price of both the player and the club. In the last transfer window, signings of important players to the Saudi League were becoming more common. To this list, names such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, among others, are added. It should be noted that Al Hilal is the team that has the most Asian cups.

During the last match, Neymar's performance in the AFC Champions League was not the best of all. The criticism towards the player did not cease because many assured that he did not perform enough. It was even speculated that the 31-year-old had had an argument with his coach. However, that has remained mere rumors. It should be noted that after a scoring drought, the striker scored again and this time with his new team.

Neymar's goal against Nassaji Mazandaran

After several games without scoring a goal, Neymar would score the 2-0 in the AFC Champions League match against Nassaji Mazandaran. The Tehran team could not cope with the constant pressure of the Arab team and with the quality of players that are in that squad. Looking to the future, Neymar is taking his first positive steps from the Middle East.
