Neymar spent a nightmare evening! Opposed to Botafogo with his Santos club on Sunday evening, the former star player of PSG, tenured for the first time in the season, was the author of an unusual gesture, to say the least.
At the 76th minute of the game, while the score between the two teams was 0-0, Neymar finds himself in the duel's penalty area with defender David Ricardo. Against all expectations, the Brazilian takes up the ball voluntarily with his hand to push him to the bottom of the nets.
A completely crazy gesture from the former Barcelona who earned him his expulsion after having received a second yellow card.
Neymar apologizes on Instagram
While Santos points to 18th place with 8 points in 11 championship days, Neymar's behavior does not arrange things. At 10 against 11, Neymar's teammates conceded a goal ten minutes later coming to further complicate the club's situation.
Aware of his mistake, the player wanted to apologize to the supporters. “” The desperate desire to score a goal sometimes leads to mistakes. I want to apologize to my teammates and also with fans. I was wrong, forgive me. Today, if I had not been expelled, I am sure that we would have obtained the three points. We must congratulate the team for this match. You can put these three points on my account »; he wrote on his Instagram.
