Brazilian legend Neymar hit back at sections of Santos' home support after being booed during their Copa Sudamericana comeback win over Macara.

Brazilian football superstar Neymar joined the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo to send a heartful message to Lionel Messi after the death of his father Jorge.

While Neymar's behaviour was heavily criticised by fans on social media, a report in Metropoles claimed that the former Brazil captain was "heavily harassed" by fans inside the stadium.

Brazil's all-time leading scorer Neymar has officially confirmed his retirement from international football, bringing the curtain down on a career that spanned more than 16 years with the national team.

Neymar scored twice for Santos and responded to his critics with a tongue-in-cheek goal celebration on his return to action after Brazil's disappointing World Cup campaign.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is in late-stage talks with Indian sports organisers to schedule an international friendly in Kolkata, likely happening in early October 2026.

Neymar returns to his home club Santos Friday with only a few months left in his contract and questions over his future after indicating he would no longer play for Brazil following the country's World Cup disappointment.

The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star made two appearances as a substitute in the FIFA World Cup 2026, scoring a late penalty against Norway.

Lothar Matthaus, a World Cup winner with Germany in 1990, admitted that it was deeply satisfying to see Neymar and Brazil get knocked out, calling out their theatrics on the field.

Neymar announced his retirement from international football after the five-time world champions suffered a 2-1 defeat to Norway in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 at MetLife Stadium.
