Club career [edit]

He accomplished the unique feat of scoring a hat-trick in the home game of the Copa Libertadores final – Thiago Neves had by then already scored once in the away game (in Ecuador) –– (during the 2008 Copa Libertadores) but ending up on the losing side, as Fluminense drew 5–5 on aggregate with LDU de Quito and were eventually downed in the penalty shootout. Neves was one of the players who missed their penalty kicks.

On 30 August 2008, it was announced that Thiago Neves is an official Hamburger SV player and is seen as the ideal replacement for the outgoing Rafael van der Vaart. Fluminense received 30% of the profit of R$ 3,502 thousand and rest of them belongs to a third party owner, "D.I.S Esporte e Organização de Eventos LTDA".[2]

He left the club on 31 January 2009 and joined Al-Hilal for €7 million.[citation needed] Neves scored a hat-trick against the rival team Al-Ittihad which shaped their historic 5–0 victory.

International career [edit]

He made his international debut in a friendly match against Sweden on 26 March 2008. Later that year, he was called up to be part of the Brazil U-23 team for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He scored 2 goals in the second match of the groupe stage over New Zealand national under-23 football team in a 3-0 win. Brazil finished third and achieved a bronze medal.
