Neymar at the center of the scandal: the star's hand "became expensive"!

Brazilian striker Neymar, one of the most famous stars in world football, has once again caused a major scandal with his rude behavior on the field. This time, his actions led to the defeat of his team in a crucial match.

In the 11th round of the championship, Santos hosted Botafogo at home. The most dramatic moment of the match was when Neymar scored the opponent's goal in the 76th minute, and Santos fans began to celebrate. However, this celebration did not last long, as the referee determined that Neymar had scored the goal with his hand and did not count his action as a goal.

After this incident, the referee showed the star player a yellow card. Worse, this was his second warning of the match, and as a result, Neymar was forced to leave the field. Santos, which was reduced to ten men, lost 0:1 to their opponent in front of their own fans.

Neymar's disorderly conduct was strongly criticized by the fans. Some experts consider his behavior uncharacteristic of a professional player. As a result of this defeat, Santos may fall to lower places in the championship standings.

33-year-old Neymar has been playing for Santos, where he has made his debut in big football, since the beginning of 2025. He returned to his beloved team after a 12-year break. During this time, he also demonstrated his talent in the strongest clubs of Europe - Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal.

Neymar has scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in 12 matches for Santos this season. However, after the latest incident, his outrageous behavior has once again come under criticism. Now fans and experts are also waiting for disciplinary measures to be taken against him for this behavior.

Fans are asking the question: "What is happening to Neymar?" After all, the experienced player is known for his subtle technique and quick movements, and such a blunder was not expected from such a star.

Now Neymar will have to learn from his mistake and help his team at the right time. Now Santos fans are hoping that he will correct himself. But this incident has become another negative mark on his name. Many are interested in what the star player will do in the future.
