Neymar made his highly anticipated second debut for Santos in a 1-1 draw with Botafogo , marking his 33rd birthday with a 45-minute appearance for his childhood club. The Brazilian superstar returned to Santos after his January transfer from Al Hilal. He entered the game at halftime, his first outing since rejoining his homeland club. \Despite his lack of match rhythm, having not played in three months, Neymar showcased his usual brilliance throughout the match.
He created good opportunities, including a powerful shot from outside the area that was saved by Botafogo goalkeeper João Carlos. He also drew two yellow cards from Botafogo players for overly aggressive tackles. The highlight of Neymar's performance came when he almost set up teammate Guilherme for a goal with a clever pass. \Neymar's return to Santos was met with immense excitement from fans who cheered enthusiastically as he took the field. He was even seen taking photographs with opposing players who seemed in awe of his presence. Neymar himself acknowledged the special nature of the moment, stating that he needed minutes and games to regain his full fitness. He also expressed his belief that he would feel better after four or five matches. Santos will face Novorizontino on Sunday, and Neymar is expected to start for the first time since his return.
