On the occasion, the 33-year-old player responded by saying "I'm going to score and I'm going there". Still in the first half's stoppage time, Neymar fouled Jair - ex-Santos - and received a yellow card. 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.

ESPN FC Pundit Drops Bold Kylian Mbappé Take After PSG Win Champions League
PSG finally captured the UEFA Champions League trophy Saturday night—and did it in emphatic fashion. The Ligue 1 powerhouse crushed Inter Milan 5-0 at Allianz Arena, securing their first-ever title in Europe's premier club competition. PSG set the tone early, with Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué finding the net in the first half to give them a 2-0 lead at the break. After halftime, Luis Enrique's side showed no signs of letting up. Advertisement Doué struck again, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu added goals of their own to seal a statement win and bring the long-awaited European crown to the French capital. Would PSG have won Champions League with Kylian Mbappé?During a segment on ESPN FC, the panel discussed whether the capital club could pull off this Champions League triumph with Kylian Mbappé still on the team. Analyst Stewart Robson noted that he doesn't see PSG winning the prestigious trophy because of Mbappé's inability to commit to tracking back and helping press to retrieve the ball. I don't think they would have been as good with Mbappé in the side,' Robson said. 'I don't know—he's an outstanding player. He's done well at scoring goals this season for Madrid. But you see, their work rate hasn't been good enough. If one player doesn't work hard and doesn't close things down, then other players can't get as tight. They can't back up that player because he's not going to work hard enough. 'All around the pitch—the work rate, the energy, the athleticism of the PSG players—it was magnificent. They made good decisions with a young team, an experienced team. They made the right decisions: when to go and close down when to drop off when to keep the ball when to play one touch when to go back to their center-half and start again. It was the all-round performance.'

USMNT's Folarin Balogun to miss Gold Cup with injury; World Cup vet Walker Zimmerman added
Folarin Balogun is the latest projected United States men's national team starter to withdraw from Concacaf Gold Cup duty this summer, joining the likes of Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson and Yunus Musah. Monaco striker Balogun was unable to recover in time from the ankle ailment he suffered last month playing for the French Ligue 1 club and will be replaced on USMNT coach's 27-man training camp roster by Eintracht Frankfurt winger Paxten Aaronson. Two other players were also dropped from the squad on Sunday because of injury, U.S. Soccer announced. San Jose Earthquakes fullback DeJaun Jones has what the federation called a "lower body injury," while midfielder Sean Zawadzki of the Columbus Crew has a knee problem. The changes come two days after Crew keeper Patrick Schulte (oblique) was forced out of camp in favor of Chicago Fire backstop Chris Brady. Philadelphia Union defender Nathan Harriel and center back Walker Zimmerman, who started three of the Americans' four games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, were summoned to replace Jones and Zawadzki. With 43 career caps, Zimmerman becomes the third-most experienced player in camp after Tim Ream and Matt Turner. Zimmerman, who plays for Nashville SC in MLS, helped the U.S. win its most recent Gold Cup title back in 2021. Aaronson is the younger brother of USMNT vet Brenden Aaronson. The 21-year-old had six goals and four assists in 28 games for Dutch Eredivisie side Utrecht last season while on loan from Frankfurt. He, Harriel and Zimmerman were teammates on the 2024 U.S. Olympic squad that reached the second round at last summer's Games in Paris. The U.S. plays the first of its two Gold Cup tuneups on Saturday against Türkiye in East Hartford, Connecticut, then travels west to face Switzerland three days later in Nashville, Tennnessee. Pochettino's team opens the tournament proper on June 15 against Trinidad and Tobago in San Jose, California, then closes out group play with matches against Haiti and guest nation Saudi Arabia.
