Fans Mock Neymar and Say He Will Never Win the Ballon d’Or
Neymar Jr. faced heavy mockery from Sport Recife fans during their 2-2 clash with Santos over the weekend, with many taunting him over his chances of ever winning the Ballon d’Or.
The Brazilian star, who returned to Santos earlier this year after a difficult stint at Al-Hilal, was targeted throughout the match. Fans brought loudspeakers, wore masks of his ex-girlfriend and actress Bruna Marquezine, and held banners aimed at rattling the former Barcelona and PSG forward.
One bold banner read, “Will never have the Ballon d’Or,” a jab that seemed to hit home as Neymar failed to contribute any goals or assists during the game. Recife supporters did everything they could to throw him off his game.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
