Neymar Returns to Santos After Saudi Arabia Stint

In a recent interview, Neymar revealed that he once taught Lionel Messi how to take penalties during their time at Barcelona, highlighting that even the best players seek advice to refine their skills. Despite his illustrious career, Neymar has never won the Ballon d'Or, a point emphasized by former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe, who believes Neymar should have dominated the awards from 2017 onwards. Neymar himself acknowledged that injuries affected his chances of winning the prestigious award while at Paris Saint-Germain. After a challenging period in Saudi Arabia, he has returned to Santos, where his performance has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Neymar's career has often been overshadowed by high expectations, and some observers argue that his decisions have impacted his legacy compared to peers like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Additionally, Neymar has agreed with Ronaldo's assertion that the Saudi Pro League is superior to Ligue 1, further reflecting on his career trajectory.
