🎥 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.

Diego Maradona's daughters' lawyer reveals gruesome details of his 'abandonment' death 'amid the smell of urine and faeces'
Gruesome details about Diego Maradona 's 'abandonment' death have emerged with the football legend said to have passed away amid the smell of 'urine and faeces'. Maradona died at the age of 60 in November 2020 following a heart attack, just two weeks after he was released from hospital following surgery for a bleed on his brain. His family have accused the medical team who oversaw his care of negligence, a cover-up and derogatory comments - calling it a 'mafia'. Seven medical professionals are currently on trial for culpable homicide - roughly equivalent to involuntary manslaughter - but have denied the charges. They are facing prison sentences of between eight and 25 years. However, there was a shock twist when the case was declared a mistrial on Thursday, after one of the three judges overseeing proceedings stepped down following criticism surrounding her participation in an upcoming documentary. Her two fellow judges opted to restart the entire case from scratch. Morbid details on Maradona's condition before his passing were revealed during the trial. Indeed, it emerged he had suffered an agonising 12-hour death in a dark room, struggling to breathe after his heart swelled to double that of a regular size. Now, Fernando Burlando, the lawyer who represents Maradona's daughters, Dalma and Gianinna, has shed further light on the alleged negligence of his medical team. Speaking on Mirtha Legrand's show, he bluntly said: 'He died amidst the smell of urine and faeces.' Burlando then added that Maradona had been 'deeply sedated' by doctors, before claiming the medics purposefully isolated him from his loved ones. Burlando also shockingly alleged Maradona's phone number was changed constantly, and that his daughters' numbers were saved under different names so that he would not recognise them when they tried to call. He said: 'When Dalma or Gianinna arrived, Diego's face would transform, he would become a different person, his eyes would light up. 'But Diego didn't understand why they didn't call him. '"Why don't you call me?" he asked one of his daughters. They told him they did it all the time, but their calls didn't appear on his phone.' Burlando concluded: 'I doubt everything, and this deserves a serious investigation. Maradona was abandoned, isolated, and delivered to the worst possible end.' It was revealed earlier in the trial that four-and-a-half litres of fluid had accumulated in his organs due to an acute pulmonary edema brought on by heart failure. Forensic expert Carlos Mauricio Casinelli showed pictures of brain clots, a 'sign of agony', and claimed his heart weighed 503 grams - more than a football. Argentinian newspaper Clarin carried the horrifying details which became public, with Casinelli claiming that his torture would have been easy to spot for days. 'The heart was completely covered in fat and blood clots, which indicate agony,' he said. 'This is a patient who had been collecting water over the days; that's not acute. 'This was something that was foreseeable. Any doctor examining a patient would find this. The water he had in his abdomen, in both pleurae, and in his heart isn't normal. 'It doesn't form in a day or an hour. It's been forming over several days. It could have been from the time he was expelled (from hospital) until he died. 'This is likely to take at least 10 days, given the addition of cirrhosis and myocarditis.' Maradona had struggled with drug addiction, obesity and alcoholism for decades, and reportedly came close to death in 2000 and 2004. But prosecutors suspect that - were it not for the negligence of his doctors - his death could have been avoided. Maradona's cause of death was officially listed as 'acute pulmonary edema secondary to exacerbated chronic heart failure'.

After 2 months, 40 witnesses, Maradona trial scrapped
Aires After weeks of hearings and testimony from over 40 witnesses, an Argentine court on Thursday nullified the trial of late football legend Diego Maradona's medical team due to a scandal over a TV miniseries. A new trial will have to start from scratch, with three new judges, in a case already long delayed into Maradona's death in 2020, allegedly due to medical negligence. Judge Julieta Makintach was forced to step down from the case this week after it emerged she had been involved in a documentary miniseries about the case, potentially breaking a string of ethics rules. Her colleague, Judge Maximiliano Savarino, annulled the trial on Thursday, saying Makintach's behavior had 'caused prejudice' to proceedings that have already heard hours of painful, sometimes tearful, testimony from witnesses including Maradona's children. 'I am not calm. I am angry. I hate them!' the footballer's daughter Jana Maradona told reporters outside the court Thursday. Ex-partner Veronica Ojeda described the events as 'outrageous.' But she added: 'if I have to do it (testify) a thousand times more, I will.' Maradona -- considered one of the world's greatest ever players -- died in November 2020 at the age of 60 while recovering from brain surgery. He was found to have died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema -- a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs -- two weeks after going under the knife. His seven-person medical team is on trial over the conditions of his home convalescence, described by prosecutors as grossly negligent.
