After years of Neymar's career going wayward, a move to Santos could put him back on track, and keep Brazil's 2026 World Cup hopes alive.
Neymar has suggested that the move to Santos was a "rescue" for him and said that he hopes to regain his confidence at the Brazilian side.
Around 20,000 supporters packed into Vila Belmiro Stadium to welcome Neymar back 12 years after he first departed for Barcelona.
