🎥 Neymar sent off in possible Santos farewell, silly red card
In what could be his last game for his home club FC Santos, Neymar certainly didn't cover himself in glory and received a truly curious yellow card. Due to injury, it was only his second start since his return in January. This was also over after 76 minutes because the Brazilian scored a goal in the style of the Hand of God. Advertisement The already warned superstar let himself be carried away with this action, but apparently forgot that, unlike Diego Maradona, he would be exposed by about 100 camera angles during his cheating action. Neymar quickly became the laughing stock on the net, instead of the heroic goal scorer of his team. Santos lost the duel against Botafogo 1-0 with a man down and is currently in a relegation spot after eleven matchdays. Since Neymar's contract expires on June 30 and the Brazilian league is on hold due to the Club World Cup until mid-July, this inglorious action could actually have been his last for Santos. The signs are currently pointing to another club change. Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

However, in the final stretch of the second half, Neymar completed the cross from the left with his hand to send the ball to the back of John's net. The goal was disallowed and, upon receiving the second yellow card, Neymar ended up getting the red and being sent off. Thus, with a contract with Santos until June 30, 2025 and with the Brasileirão being stopped on June 12, for Fifa Date and, then, Fifa Club World Cup, this may have been Neymar's last act with the Peixe shirt.
