Football: Neymar in tears after the biggest defeat of his career, 6-0 against Vasco de Gama
The Brazilian collapsed after Santos' 6-0 defeat to Vasco da Gama on Sunday. His friend Philippe Coutinho, who scored twice, came to comfort him after the match.
By Le ParisienWith tears in his eyes and his head in his knees, Neymar suffered a major blow on Sunday after the biggest defeat of his career. The former PSG player was left powerless in Santos' 6-0 defeat against Philippe Coutinho's Vasco da Gama.
The former Liverpool and Barça player scored twice, making a significant contribution to his team's victory. It's not clear that the kiss the executioner placed on the condemned man's head was enough to console the Santos captain, who had lost the ball 20 times and was unable to shoot on goal.
Just as dejected as their captain, Santos fans turned their backs on the game in the stands to show their dismay at the level of their team.
Neymar had never experienced a defeat of this magnitude. The last time the Brazilian was soundly beaten like this was at the Parc des Princes, against PSG (4-0), with Barça. But a few weeks later, the magician made a significant contribution to the comeback (6-1) by scoring twice in two minutes to put FC Barcelona through.
