In his personal battle to be with the Brazil national team at the 2026 World Cup, Neymar had a “different” night in Argentina.

On the pitch in Santos’ 1-1 draw with San Lorenzo, the star No. 10 was given a standing ovation by the Argentines and responded with smiles and greetings to wheelchair users at the edge of the field.

After the final whistle, Neymar left the pitch to applause from the San Lorenzo fans and with Ezequiel Herrera’s shirt.

Still on the field, Neymar received affection from fans who managed to get close to the Brazilian star.

In the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms, Neymar gave his boot to Fabrício López.

After the match, San Lorenzo’s own account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a video of Neymar thanking the fans for the affection he received.

“Hello, San Lorenzo fans! Thank you for welcoming me so warmly, it made me happy. It was a great match, and I’m very happy for the affection you showed me and my teammates. A kiss to everyone! I was very well received here, I had never experienced this outside Brazil, and it is a great honor for me to receive this affection.”
