Things have not been easy for the star of the Brazilian national team, who was unable to play in the most recent CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers due to an injury.

But that does not detract at all from the achievements that the player has made throughout his life and puts a good perspective on what he is facing at the moment. 

When is Neymar's birthday?

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, known as Neymar Júnior or simply Neymar, has a birthday on February 5 and was born in 1992 so today is his 30th birthday. 

The Paris Saint-Germain striker, despite his youth, has accumulated numerous achievements and recognitions that highlight his status as one of the best soccer players in the world.

What are Neymar's achievements at the age of 30?

The Brazilian star won three Paulista Championships in a row, a Brazilian Cup, and a Copa Libertadores, a tournament in which he was top scorer and best player of the tournament, in addition to having won this trophy for his team, which had not won it since 1963 with Pelé.  

He would later win the Puskás Award in 2011, and the South American Footballer of the Year in 2011 and 2012, before being transferred to FC Barcelona, where he formed a trident of epoch with Lionel Messi and Uruguayan Luis Suárez.

This trident was so successful that together they won the treble, consisting of the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League, a tournament in which Neymar was the top scorer alongside Messi, and scorer of a goal in the final against Juventus.

And it was this record for which in 2017 the player would be transferred to his current team, Paris Saint-Germain, in an operation considered the most expensive transfer in the history of soccer at that time, with a cost of 222 million euros

And it would seem that there the player would finally consolidate and leave the shadow of Lionel Messi, but things have not gone as he expected.

The challenge currently facing Neymar

The Brazilian player is currently living a complicated moment at PSG as he is convalescing from an ankle ligament injury, and his participation in the Round of 16 in the Champions League against Real Madrid is seen as very difficult.

The player has experienced moments of brilliance at his new club, as well as unfortunate episodes. 

At his best, one can cite his numbers with the club: he has played 130 games in which he has scored 90 goals and 55 assists, and has won all the national titles, including three French Leagues and three Cups, alongside his colleague Kylian Mbappé.

But on the other hand, he has struggled with injuries and even faced a rape accusation, which nearly scuttled his renewal with PSG.

Currently, the player is struggling to regain his best level of play and to return to that leading role in world soccer as he did when he was younger.
