Neymar burst into tears after the biggest defeat in history

Santos were crushed by Vasco da Gama with a score of 0-6 at Morumbis Stadium, within the framework of round 20 of the Brazilian National Championship (Serie A - Brasileirão).

Santos and Neymar are facing a turbulent 2025 Brasileirão season.

In the early morning of August 18, Neymar could not hold back his tears when his childhood team suffered one of the most humiliating defeats in history. In front of tens of thousands of home fans, Neymar's team was completely overwhelmed by Vasco da Gama, another candidate for relegation in the tournament, with 6 goals to nil.

Neymar cried a lot after the final whistle. He was completely broken down and even had to let Vasco da Gama coach Fernando Diniz come to console him. Afterwards, Neymar went into the locker room without speaking to anyone.

Philippe Coutinho, the former Barcelona star, scored twice in Vasco da Gama's incredible victory. Coutinho also went to comfort Neymar, after seeing his former Brazil teammate cry after the defeat.

This was Santos' biggest home defeat in the history of the Brasileirão, according to ESPN . Previously, Santos had never lost by more than 4 goals at home in the Brazilian National Championship. Less than an hour after the embarrassing defeat, Santos also announced the dismissal of head coach Cleber Xavier.

Globo commented that the 0-6 defeat to Vasco da Gama was the "biggest humiliation" in Santos' history, pushing the team into a serious crisis with the risk of relegation imminent. Santos, currently ranked 15th with 21 points, is only 2 points above the direct relegation zone. Meanwhile, the victory helped Vasco rise to 16th place with 19 points, escaping the red light group.
