🎥 Message for someone? Neymar celebrates with a poker gesture

Neymar returned to action for Santos this Saturday (25) after representing the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup.

And he already made his mark against Chapecoense in the clash played at Vila Belmiro which had construction work going on before kickoff.

The goal came after a one-two with Barreal and a finish that gave Matheus Aurélio no chance.

And the celebration that followed was “different.”

After his now “traditional” grimace, he made a gesture referencing poker.

The gesture came after his participation in a poker tournament sparked controversy.

Neymar was not included in the squad for Tuesday’s Copa Sudamericana match in Venezuela against Universidad Central. And he had Wednesday off — just like the entire Santos squad.

The No. 10 then took advantage of that time to appear at BSOP Winter, the fourth stop of the 2026 season of the Brazilian Poker Championship, held in São Paulo.

The criticism that followed even led to a response from the star.
