📸 Neymar in tears as Santos star suffers total humiliation | OneFootball

After his return to FC Santos, Neymar Jr. has probably reached his lowest point. In front of over 50,000 fans in the home Estádio Urbano Caldeira, the team of the Brazilian star was outplayed by a relegation candidate today.

Vasco da Gama dismantled Santos with a 6-0 score. Neymar was on the field from the start during the humiliation – and had to watch as former Bayern pro Philippe Coutinho scored twice against the hosts. His team is more than ever in crisis after the debacle. As 15th in the table, the Santásticos are currently only two points away from a direct relegation spot. How much longer will Neymar put up with this?

Just in June, the 33-year-old extended his contract until the end of the year. However, he was previously repeatedly linked with a move back to Europe – probably also to recommend himself to a top team for the 2026 World Cup. How much his club means to him was shown after the final whistle.

Still on the field, the former world star let his emotions run free. Just a few minutes later, Santos announced the immediate dismissal of coach Cleber Xavier via 'X'. There can hardly be more chaos in one evening.
