Neymar reflected on the influence of Diego Maradona after an unfortunate incident during a match against Botafogo, where he was sent off after handling the ball in the penalty area. This incident occurred late in a scoreless game, denying Santos a chance to secure points. Despite his return to Santos after his stint abroad, Neymar's mistake resulted in an apology and could affect his future at the club, especially with his contract expiring soon. Santos remains at the bottom of the league after suffering several losses.
"I made a mistake, forgive me! Today, if I hadn't been sent off, I'm sure we would have gotten the three points. You can count these three points against me!"
"With Santos and Botafogo locked at 0-0 heading into the last 15 minutes... Neymar launched himself at a rebound in the penalty area and steered the ball into the net with his hand."
