Santos lost 3-2 to Fluminense after giving up the lead this Sunday (19) at Vila Belmiro, in the 12th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
And Neymar, once again, sparked controversy after the match.
That’s because, as he left the pitch toward the locker room, the star No. 10 put his fingers in his ears while passing near the section where Peixe’s main organized supporters groups are located.
Many supporters and Neymar fans interpreted the gesture as a way of not hearing the “kind words” coming from the crowd.
After all, in midweek, the Santos idol argued with a fan and left that same Vila pitch to boos because of the draw with modest Recoleta in the Copa Sudamericana.
However, Neymar immediately went on social media to explain that his ears were itchy, but he insulted the page’s “admin” that had posted about why he had his fingers in his ears.


So, why did Neymar leave the field with his fingers in his ears? Comment below!
