At home, Santos struggled against Botafogo. With all eyes on captain Neymar, he disappointed with a blatant handball, earning him a second yellow card.
Having to play with one less man made Santos quickly lose control of the game, then conceded the decisive goal in the final minutes, thereby accepting defeat and continuing to sink deeper into the relegation group.

It is worth mentioning that this was the first match Neymar played a full match since returning from injury, not counting the friendly match with RB Leipzig. Although he showed effort, enthusiasm and some familiar technical moves, it was clear that Neymar was no longer himself. He often lost in the disputes, lacked coordination with his teammates and especially lacked emotional control.
Neymar's contract with Santos expires on June 30. Given the current situation, the possibility of him leaving the team is almost certain unless there is a major turning point in the near future. When the team is in a dire situation, the person who was once considered the "savior" is now part of the cause of the crisis.
It has been nearly 2 months since Neymar has scored a goal for Santos. If he maintains his current form, the possibility of the 1992-born player being selected for the World Cup is very low, despite the praise he has received from coach Carlo Ancelotti.
