The Selecao captain can cement his status as one of the Selecao's greats when he leads his team into Saturday's Olympic final at the Maracana.
Neymar stands one step from greatness, as he has the opportunity to make history by doing what nobody before him could do.
On Saturday the Brazil captain leads out the home side of a first ever South American Olympic host aiming to claim what would be the five-time world champion’s first ever gold medal for football.
The one title for which Brazil is eligible but yet to win, Olympic football means more to the Selecao than most.
