Neymar abused, reacts and taunts with chants of eliminated after win | OneFootball

Tensions flared behind the scenes at Mangueirão right after the final whistle of Santos’ 1-0 win over Remo in the Copa do Brasil on Tuesday.

Fans with access near the entrance to the visiting locker room hurled insults at Neymar, who reacted and responded with provocation.

Santos’ No. 10 celebrated qualification by shouting “Eliminated! Eliminated!” at the opposing side’s representatives.

Remo fans became even more fired up and responded with more insults and obscene gestures toward the star.

The hostile relationship, however, had begun even before the ball started rolling. According to reports, from the warm-up on the pitch, the home crowd chanted insults at the forward.

Later, Neymar posted the video of the moment he was insulted and mocked it in the caption: “Thanks for the affection, Belém,” accompanied by laughing emojis and a heart.

On the field, Santos got the better of Remo and won 1-0, securing a spot in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. Neymar set up Rony for the game’s only goal.

With the away win, the São Paulo side pocketed R$ 4 million in prize money.
