Neymar Scores Brace in Santos Victory, Signals Brazil Comeback

News summary

Neymar marked a significant return to form by scoring twice in Santos' 3-1 victory over Juventude, ending the club's three-match winless streak and showcasing his readiness for a Brazil national team comeback. This was his first brace since September 2023 and his first time starting five consecutive matches since August 2022, highlighting his recovery from a serious knee ligament injury sustained in October 2023. Despite Santos struggling near the relegation zone, Neymar's performance demonstrated his enduring influence and earned him a milestone of 170 career goals on Brazilian soil, combining club and national team tallies. Neymar openly expressed his availability and confidence to Brazil’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti and the national team staff, emphasizing that the decision for his recall lies with them. The upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia present a key opportunity for Neymar to reestablish himself on the international stage. His resurgence offers hope for both Santos and Brazil as they seek stability and success moving forward.
