But where did his best years go? A star of Brazilian football in his early days at Santos, Neymar Junior had the world at his feet. No dream was beyond his reach, as he sublimated football with every dribble.

His extraordinary talent brought lipstick to La Liga matches. Along with Messi and Suarez, he formed one of the most formidable attacking trios in the history of FC Barcelona. Transferred to PSG for a record fee, the Brazilian continued to grace the Parc des Princes with his charms, but he had already unwittingly begun a slow descent into hell.

Flop!

Plagued by injuries, often sustained due to his unsavory lifestyle, the ray of sunshine of the 'Canarinho' paled with the passing seasons in Paris. The stint in Saudi Arabia didn't exactly help him shine.

Back in Santos, Brazil, 'Menino' hoped to revive his career, but so far it's been a flop. He's been dragging his unhappiness onto the football pitch for several months. Last July, he was even caught arguing with a fan. The fan reportedly called him a "mercenary."

Has the Ney lost its magic?

The disenchantment with the fans stems from his mixed performances and Santos' poor form. Despite his good intentions, he is currently failing.

Has Neymar finally lost his magic? Yesterday, Sunday, August 17, Santos suffered another defeat in the league. A resounding 6-0 defeat against Vasco da Gama. Neymar left the pitch in tears. Vasco coach Fernando Diniz had to hug him to console him.

"I'm totally disappointed with our match. We have the right to protest, but without violence, even if we have the right to insult. It's a feeling of shame. I've never experienced anything like this in my life," he told reporters. This defeat pushes the Sao Paulo club further down the table. They are 15th, two points from the relegation zone. For Neymar, the blues continue!
