Neymar Jr. left the field in tears after Santos FC suffered a devastating 6-0 loss to Vasco Da Gama in Brazil’s Serie A. This defeat marks the worst failure of his career. It was the first time the 8-time Brazilian champions, Santos, conceded six goals in a Serie A match. Despite Neymar’s presence, the club is struggling, just two points clear of the relegation zone. In the immediate aftermath, coach Cleber Xavier was fired hours after the game. Vasco Da Gama’s midfielder Philippe Coutinho, formerly of Liverpool and Aston Villa, contributed two goals, helping his team secure their first victory in six matches and their largest win in 17 years. The crushing defeat left Neymar deeply disappointed, with fans also protesting the club’s situation. “I have never seen this before in my life. I can’t help anything,” Neymar told journalists. “I think everyone should go home, sleep, and think about what happened today, and what they want to do next.” The 33-year-old star, famous for his record €222 million transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, returned to Santos FC mid-season after his Al Hilal contract was terminated due to frequent injuries. In his 12 games since returning, he has provided 6 assists.
