Neymar smiles again: first goal with Santos

Goal on penalty kick against Agua Santa for former PSG and Barcelona

Neymar at last. After deciding to return to Santos, his home, the Brazilian rediscovered the pleasure of celebrating a goal with the Peixe jersey. The former star of, among others, PSG and Barcelona, è was a great protagonist in the match won by Santos over Agua Santa (a decidedly modest team) 3-1.

About two weeks after his regal return to Brazil, Neymar, 33, opened the scoring with a penalty. It was a goal he had been waiting for all his life, football-wise. The Brazilian, in fact, had not been in the net since Oct. 3, 2023, the day of his last goal on the Al-Hilal jersey before the injury that forced him into the pits for a very long time.

Neymar è appeared smiling and also in decent physical shape. Although the opponent was not of great level, Neymar è moved quite well on the field, even managing to serve the assist for the final 3-1. In short, a definitely encouraging performance for the future.

Now Santos è awaited by surely more challenging matches where Neymar, the prodigal son, will be called upon to raise his level of play. However, already seeing him score in a Peixe jersey after an eternity (he left Santos in 2013) è was particularly exciting for everyone, first and foremost for Neymar himself.
