One of the most famous stars in world football, Brazilian forward Neymar, has once again caused a major controversy with his rough behavior on the field. This time, his actions led to his team's important defeat in a match.
In the 11th round of the championship, the "Santos" team hosted the "Botafogo" club at home. The most intense moment of the match came in the 76th minute when Neymar seized the opponent's goal, and the "Santos" fans began to celebrate. However, this celebration did not last long, as the referee determined that Neymar had scored with his hand and did not count the goal.
After this situation, the referee showed a yellow card to the star player. The worst part was that it was his second warning in the match, resulting in Neymar being forced to leave the field. The "Santos" team, now down to ten players, ended up losing 0:1 to their opponent in front of their fans.
Neymar's misconduct faced strong criticism from fans. Some experts assessed his actions as uncharacteristic of a professional footballer. As a result of this defeat, "Santos" may drop to lower positions in the championship standings.
The 33-year-old Neymar has been active at the "Santos" club, which brought him to professional football, since the beginning of 2025. He returned to his beloved team after a 12-year break. During this time, he showcased his talent at top European clubs such as "Barselona," "Paris Saint-Germain," and also at Saudi Arabia's "Al-Hilal."
This season, Neymar has scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 12 matches wearing the "Santos" jersey. However, after the recent incident, his remarkable behavior has come under criticism once again. Now fans and experts are also expecting disciplinary measures to be taken regarding his actions.
Fans are raising the question, "What is happening to Neymar?" After all, the experienced player is known for his delicate technique and quick movements, and they did not expect such a rough mistake from a star like him.
Now Neymar must draw the appropriate conclusions from his mistake and help his team when needed. Currently, "Santos" fans are hoping for his recovery. However, this incident has left another negative mark on his name. Many are curious about how the star player's actions will unfold in the future.
