The South American giants are competing in Group G at the 2022 World Cup against Cameroon, Serbia and Switzerland respectively.
As reported by Sportskeeda, Neymar was recently asked how many goals he expected to score during the World Cup, to which he replied, 'at least 5.’
Neymar's previous World Cup goals
In 2018, Neymar only managed to score two goals as Brazil were dumped out in the tournament's quarter-final stage. He also notched up one assist.
At the 2014 World Cup, he scored four goals and grabbed one assist before he was injured in the quarter final. A Neymar-less Brazil was then hammered 7-1 in the now infamous semi-final against Germany.
