Neymar sets social media alight after Santos lose in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

With a controversial "like" on a video of a missed goal by a teammate, Neymar, still injured, set social media ablaze after Santos' defeat at home to Vitória, in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The 33-year-old star was at Vila Belmiro on Monday night and watched Peixe's 1-0 defeat to one of their direct rivals in the fight against relegation.

Neymar was criticized by fans for "liking" a video of Santos forward Guilherme missing a goal from close range.

"I'm a big fan of Neymar, I really admire his career. But this time, he missed the mark," wrote one internet user. "Liking a video where Guilherme, his fellow professional, misses a header in front of the goal – especially with Santos in such a difficult phase – sounds like mockery," they added.

However, the star defended Guilherme in a post that called for the player's removal from the team.

"Calm down, it's not that serious," he commented.

Matheuzinho, who scored Vitória's goal from a penalty, mimicked Neymar's traditional celebration, with his hands spread beside his face.

In recovery after a right thigh muscle injury, the Santos star does not yet have confirmed data for his return, expected in November.

With ten rounds to go in the Brasileirão, Santos occupies the 16th position, the last above the relegation zone, with the same 31 points as Vitória.
