A fan taunts Neymar, and the Brazilian’s response is phenomenal

Neymar is always in the news. Despite a World Cup in which he played a decidedly supporting role and no longer being the phenomenon he once was, the Brazilian star always manages to amaze, even when he’s not on the field.

His latest move? A phenomenal response to an Atlético Mineiro fan who tried to provoke him while he was watching the game at the stadium in plain clothes.

An Atlético Mineiro supporter did, in fact, try to corner Neymar, but the Santos star replied promptly: “Even without knees, I’m stronger than anyone on your team,” he replied with a laugh. A response that has already gone viral and confirms that the 34-year-old Brazilian is still capable of making a difference, even when he’s comfortably seated in the stands watching his Santos teammates play.

Back at Santos after the World Cup, Neymar immediately made headlines off the field as well. In late July, he participated in the BSOP Winter tournament, the fourth leg of the 2026 Brazilian Poker Championship, sparking a major media sensation. His absence from a Santos match infuriated fans and insiders alike. His response came directly on the field. Back in the starting lineup against Chapecoense, Neymar scored a brace that secured a 2-2 draw, celebrating his first goal by mimicking the gesture of dealing cards.
