🎥 Emotional season finale: Neymar celebrates and declares the final mission | OneFootball

Tonight, FC Santos secured their place in the top flight with a 3-0 victory over EC Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte on the final matchday of the Brazilian Série A.

The newly promoted team especially has Neymar Jr. to thank for this. Despite a ban from the team doctor, the 33-year-old was once again on the field from the start and directed his team.

In the last three matches of the season, Neymar scored a total of four goals and set up another. Just how much staying up means to him became clear once again after the game.

Speaking with reporters, the world star broke down in tears. Also, could it be because this might have been his last game for Santos?

“I really don’t know if I’ll stay at Santos. Right now, I just want to recover from the past few weeks. After that, I’ll think about it. One way or another, this club will always be in my heart,” emphasized Neymar, who had fired up all the fans at the home Estádio Urbano Caldeira with a loudspeaker announcement before the match.

We don’t know the answer either – but what we do know: his footballing heart is still burning incredibly strong. Neymar concluded by saying he still has one last mission to accomplish in his career. What could he mean by that – surely not the 2026 World Cup?!  

Do you think Neymar can win the World Cup? Let us know in the comments.
