Bradley Barcola Shines at PSG, Chasing Neymar’s Scoring Record

Emerging as a key player for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Bradley Barcola is currently enjoying a remarkable start to the season. The 22-year-old winger has netted four goals in just three matches, and with his impressive performance, he is on the verge of matching a record set by none other than Neymar.

Barcola shines at the season’s outset

In light of Kylian Mbappé‘s departure, Barcola has taken on greater offensive responsibilities. His finishing abilities have noticeably improved, as evidenced by his four goals in the 2023-2024 season and an additional four already in the early stages of the 2024-2025 season. As PSG prepares to face Stade Brestois at the Parc des Princes this Saturday night at 9 PM, all eyes will be on Barcola to see if he can maintain his exceptional form.

…And he could match Neymar’s record

Barcola is among a select group of players who have scored in each of the first three matches of the season in PSG’s history. This feat has only been accomplished by Toko (1981-1982), Safet Susic (1985-1986), Edinson Cavani (2017-2018), and Neymar during multiple seasons (2018-2019 and 2022-2023). Both Cavani and Neymar currently hold the record for scoring in five consecutive matches, a milestone Barcola might soon chase.
